SUMMARY:Derek Warfield & The Young Wolfe Tones
DESCRIPTION:A special group of Irish men and women have been responsible for preservation of the tradition of Irish ballad singing over the past 50 years. Derek Warfield is a distinguished name among them. Derek Warfield and They Young Wolfe Tones are bringing that musical tradition forward with a reverence for Ireland’s past and the energy and optimism of a new generation of Irish musicians. \nIn 2001\, after nearly 40 years performing\, the legendary Wolfe Tones parted with their founder and leader – Derek Warfield. No other Irish folk group\, before or since\, told the story of Ireland so completely and unapologetically. But for Derek’s hunger and desire to continue to further the story of Ireland through song\, an ancient tradition might have lost perhaps its most iconic figure. In 2005 Derek put together a band containing some of the finest musicians and singers in Irish music – The Young Wolfe Tones. \nDerek Warfield’s 50 years of experience coupled with the talent and energy of The Young Wolfe Tones brings the old tradition of Irish balladry into a new age. The story of Ireland is transmitted in their music and song and illuminated by the outstanding musicianship of three wonderful ambassadors of a new generation of traditional players. Derek Warfield and The Young Wolfe Tones deliver Ireland’s traditional music and folk songs with an energy and skill that shows the quality of contemporaries within that tradition. The patriotic spirit of Irish music carried through the 1970s\, 1980s and 1990s by the Wolfe Tones now marches on in the dynamic sound of The Young Wolfe Tones.

SUMMARY:The Mulcahy Family
DESCRIPTION:The Mulcahy Family live in concert in the Coleman Music Centre\, Gurteen\, Co Sligo F56 TF88 on Saturday\, 9th November at 8pm. \nTickets €15. To book call:071 9182599 or book online at www.colemanirishmusic.com \nWhen the Mulcahy Family\, of Abbeyfeale\, West Limerick are involved the music is never ordinary and always close to the heart. That is the hallmark of the Mulcahy Family\, as the simplicity of the tunes takes on a new life when blended together with technique and familiarity all wrapped together in honesty and respect for the tradition. \nThat respect flows from the Mick Mulcahy\, 63\, originally from Brosna\, Co. Kerry where proximity to Sliabh Luachra and Co. Clare assured a firm foundation for the music. A member of the senior All-Ireland Brosna Ceili Band who won the gold in Listowel in 1972\, he is a devoted musician all his life seeking out the best sessions and musicians. \nExposure to the likes of trad icons Willie Clancy and Seamus Ennis at August bank holiday weekends in Miltown Malbay set the tone and bar very high in the 1950s and 1960s for traditional music and on Mulcahy’s own development. When he and his wife\, Cecelia\, settled in Abbeyfeale to raise their family consisting of daughters Louise\, 26\, and Michelle\, 24\, it was clear that Irish music would be the family passion and cultural sustenance. \nAs infants\, the girls were regular visitors to the annual Willie Clancy Summer School and All-Ireland fleadhs\, later to be students and then teachers. \nTheir skill-sets on a variety of instruments provide for a tasteful layering on top of the tune that reveals their own sensitivity and natural flair for traditional music. Mostly self-taught\, Mick plays a variety of accordions\, concertina and melodeon\, Louise the tin-whistle\, uilleann pipes and primarily the concert flute while Michelle plays the harp\, concertina\, accordion\, fiddle and piano.

SUMMARY:Gatehouse
DESCRIPTION:Gatehouse bring their fantastic show to the Coleman Music Centre in Gurteen on Saturday 8th June with the concert starting at 8pm. \n“The term supergroup is perhaps over-used in some contexts\, but there’s no doubting the pedigree of the Gatehouse line-up.” Irish Music Magazine \nGatehouse are an Irish traditional band. The four members are Rachel Garvey (Vocals)\, Jacinta McEvoy (guitar and concertina)\, John McEvoy (fiddle and mandolin) and John Wynne (flute and whistles). \nSince getting together the band have gained a reputation for their tasteful interpretation of traditional songs and vibrant instrumentals\, combining “masterful technical proficiency” with “vocal numbers where the sparkle glows”.  The band have toured extensively\, drawing audiences into their world of infectious rhythms and soothing vocals. Their subtle instrumental interplay\, innovative accompaniment and enchanting vocals refreshes the ear and provides a unique insight into the roots of their tradition.  “Gatehouse is obviously steeped in tradition but also very cognisant of stylistic innovations” Boston Irish. \nTheir first album\, Tús Nua\, described as “an unerring delight” received a five-star review and was short-listed for The Irish Times 2016 album of the year. Their second release\, Heather Down The Moor (2019)\, showcases the band’s interpretative skills through subtle embellishment of classic folk songs and their ability to seamlessly blend the old with the new. \nLooking ahead\, the band continues to explore their rich musical heritage and to further establish their reputation for tasteful interpretation of songs and rollicking tunes. \n“an undeniable warmth and spirit that’s impossible to resist. …If they are not on your radar\, then they should be”. Folk Radio \nTickets are €15 and can be booked by calling the Coleman Music Centre on 071 918 2599 or via their website here.
