Frankie Gavin and De Dannan Visit Nenagh Arts Centre

On this Saturday night, the16th of November, traditional music legends Frankie Gavin and De Dannan come to Nenagh Arts Centre.

This version of the band is regarded as being the finest grouping of De Dannan ever with Frankie Gavin on fiddle. Singer Michelle Lally follows in the footsteps of the greats who have performed with De Dannan like Mary Black, Maura O Connell and Dolores Keane. Accordionist Barry Brady from Co. Roscommon is a stylized performer who brings a life to the music which lifts the spirit and gels with Frankie’s electrifying fiddling, and between them, they leave no stone unturned when it comes to exciting jigs reels and hornpipes. Double Bass player Paul O’ Drisceoil from Kinvara, who has performed with Riverdance, brings a new dimension to the De Dannan sound. A superb bassist, and a skilled jazz player and backing vocalist, Paul offers another energy source to the band which lends itself to Irish, Jazz and maybe a touch of Bluegrass.

Colm O’Caoimh on guitar from Kilkenny, the youngest member is unique in the sense of his understanding of musical accompaniment, and the ability to play like he does. Colm, like Paul, Barry and Michelle, are at the highest performance level yet seen in Irish music - only what one has grown to expect from Frankie Gavin & De Dannan over the years. Visitors to the Nenagh show are in for a special treat.

Tickets are €20 and can be had online at www.nenagharts.com or from the box office in Banba Square. The show takes place at Nenagh Arts Centre on Saturday, 16th November, at 9 p.m.
