Finbarr Wall, Oliver Mulligan, Creena Mulchrone, Thomas McCarthy and Jim
Ward.
Do come

AND DO COME AND JOIN US ON
THE NIGHT BEFORE, FOR :
Friday 18th May
Sara Grey and Kieron Means
New Englander Sara is a remarkable
singer of the old ballads, prefacing the songs with fascinating background
stories. Her distinctive frailing style on the banjo shows just how this
instrument should be played. Kieron,
Sara's son, a brilliant guitar player, has a strikingly individual sound.His
material draws from the deepest wellsprings of North American culture and the
work of latter-day songwriters steeped in the old traditions. Both
perform with rare passion and enthusiasm
With The Rakes
Club nights :
Friday 15th June -
Bloomsday event with Racker Donnelly and Luke Cheevers
Friday 20th July - Jim
& Lynette Eldon
The
King & Queen,
