THE CHIEFTAINS ...[The Chieftains] seem ageless, and so does their Irish music. And if common sense tells you they can’t go on forever,you wouldn’t know it from their electrifying performance.

– BOSTON GLOBE

SIX-TIME GRAMMY AWARD winners and

Earth’s preeminent Celtic band, The Chieftains are internationally recognized for bringing traditional Irish music to the world’s attention. They have uncovered the wealth of centuries-old music from their homeland making it their own with a style that is as exhilarating as it is definitive. Winners of the BBC Lifetime Achievement Award, they have recorded over 40 albums, collaborated 10

with musicians across multiple genres such as Pavarotti, The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Sting and Van Morrison, and continue to mesmerize audiences with their traditional Irish music.

Get ready for a legendary performance with The Chieftains along with guest musicians and dancers.

KUUDEN GRAMMYN VOITTAJA, maailman

tunnetuin kelttibändi The Chieftains on irlantilaisen kansanmusiikin legendaarinen sanansaattaja. He ovat kaivaneet esiin kotimaansa vuosisatoja vanhat sävelmät ja luoneet niiden pohjalta korvia hivelevän nimikkotyylinsä, joka määrittää koko genreä. He ovat saaneet BBC:n Lifetime Achievement -palkinnon elämäntyöstään, joka sisältää yli 40 albumia yli 50 vuoden ajalta, lukemattomia konsert-

teja ja yhteistyötä yli genrerajojen: yhtye on tehnyt musiikkia mm. Pavarottin, The Rolling Stonesin, Madonnan, Stingin ja Sinéad O’Connorin kanssa, aina irlantilaiseen perinteeseen pohjaten.

The Chieftains esittelee konsertissaan irkkumusiikin parhaat perinteet yhdessä vierailevien muusikoiden ja tanssijoiden kera.

RÉALTA Youthful, energetic, stellar music, from one of Ireland’s finest bands!

– MAIRÉAD NÍ MHAONAIGH (ALTAN)

DESCRIBED BY IRISH MUSIC MAGAZINE as

“A full bodied pipe and whistle extravaganza”, Réalta carry on the Bothy Band tradition of taking tunes by the scruff of the neck and firing excitement through them like hot flames!

With a sound based on twin uilleann piping, propelled by dynamic accompaniments on guitar, bouzouki, bodhrán and double bass, 12

Réalta make full use of the intricate melodies and driving rhythms that make Irish music so loved throughout the world.

Réalta have earned a reputation for delighting audiences with the enthusiasm, energy and passion they bring to traditional music.

Saturday 3.10. 21:00 UUSI SEURAHUONE

Tickets: 22 € / *18 € +2,50 € Lippupalvelu service fee Doors open at / Ovet avataan 20:00 The show begins with a performance by the Greenlights Dance Crew

DERMOT MOYNAGH – bodhrán CONOR LAMB – uilleann pipes, whistles AARON O’HAGAN – uilleann pipes, whistles DEIRDRE GALWAY – guitar, bouzouki, vocals DERMOT MULHOLLAND – bouzouki, double bass, vocals

IRISH MUSIC MAGAZINEN kuvaus Réaltasta

kuuluu näin: “täyteläinen täyslaidallinen säkkipilliä”. Bothy Bandin jalanjäljissä seuraava yhtye ei turhaan jarruttele, vaan kiskoo joka sävelestä kaiken jännityksen irti. Heidän saundinsa perustuu kahteen säkkipilliin, joita tukee vahva säestys kitaralla, busukilla ja pystybassolla. Näiden avulla Réalta ottaa kaiken

ilon irti irlantilaisen musiikin rakastetuimmista piirteistä: säkenöivistä melodioista ja jalan alle menevistä rytmeistä.

Réalta on ansainnut maineen iloisena ja energisenä yleisön villitsijänä, perinteitä unohtamatta.

FLOOK You need a cold shower to fully wake up to the phenomenal potential of this music – IRISH MUSIC MAGAZINE

FLOOK’S ABILITY to weave traditionally root-

ed tunes from seemingly minimal elements – two flutes, a guitar, a bodhrán – yields a breathtaking sound unlike any other on today’s Celtic scene. This group possesses a rare blend of fiery technical brilliance, delicate ensemble interaction and a bold, adventurous musical imagination. Flook’s 14

live performances are legendary and have captured the hearts of audiences around the world.

After a prolonged pause since 2008, they’re back playing live and firing explosively on all four cylinders. Catch these rare shows while you can!

BRIAN FINNEGAN – tin whistle, flute SARAH ALLEN – flute ED BOYD – guitar JOHN JOE KELLY – bodhrán

FLOOK LUO MUSIIKKIA näennäisen yksinker-

taisista elementeistä: kaksi huilua, kitara ja bodhrán-rumpu tuovat perinteisiin sävelmiin lumoavan uuden muodon, jollaista ei ole kelttimusiikin saralla ennen kuultu. Yhtyeen briljantti soittotaito, herkkä keskinäinen vuorovaikutus ja vallaton musiikillinen mielikuvitus erottavat heidät entistä vahvemmin

joukosta. Myös heidän maineensa vahvoina live-esiintyjinä on kiirinyt ympäri maailman.

Bändi on palannut pitkän tauon jälkeen esiintymislavoille akut ladattuina, valmiina täyteen menoon. Tätä harvinaista keikkaa ei kannata missata!

JOHN DOYLE Doyle on guitar has risen to a level occupied by him alone. No one in Irish traditional music is a better guitarist than him right now.

– THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

SINGER-SONGWRITER and guitarist John Doyle has long been considered one of the most important guitarists in Irish and acoustic music worldwide and is now increasingly praised for his singing and song-writing talents. With the resurgence of traditional Irish music, John honours the tradition even as he cultivates it with his superb choice of traditional and original material. He is a former

16

member of the super-group Solas and more recently his singing and guitar-playing talents have earned him a Grammy nomination in 2010 with fiddler Liz Carrol and a busy global schedule performing with Mike McGoldrick, The Teatotallers and Usher’s Island.

Join John for an up close and personal evening of good music.

John yhdistelee perinteistä ja omatekoista materiaalia pettämättömällä otteella, uudistuvan irlantilaisen kansanmusiikin perinteitä kunnioittaen. Hän on maailmankuulun Solas-yhtyeen entinen

jäsen, ja sittemmin hän on saanut Grammy-ehdokkuuden Liz Carrollin kanssa, ja kiertää maailmaa esiintyen mm. Mike McGoldrickin, The Teatotallersin ja Usher’s Islandin kanssa.

THE GREEN COTTAGE SAMULI KARJALAINEN – fretted instruments,

tin whistle, vocals, bodhrán KEITH MURTAGH – vocals, guitar KIRSI VINKKI – fiddle, tin whistle, hurdy-gurdy,

bodhrán, vocals

A CRACKLING FIREPLACE, the creak of floorboards under a dancer’s feet, bird song, waves and wind – these are what the music of The Green Cottage is made of. The band finds inspiration in old Irish stories and melodies and the tunes of the North, in earthy dance rhythms and archaic sounds. Their arrangements live and breathe in the moment, carried on by a heartbeat.

THE GREEN COTTAGE -yhtyeen musiikis-

sa kaikuu takkatulen räiske, lattialankkujen natina tanssijan jalan alla, linnunlaulu, meren pauhu ja tuulen huokaus. Yhtye on inspiroitunut vanhoista irlantilaisista tarinoista ja melodioista, pohjolan sävelmistöstä, juurevista tanssirytmeistä sekä arkaaisista soundeista.

Sovitukset elävät hetkessä ja niitä tahdittaa sydämen syke.

teistä irlantilaista tanssimusiikkia niin kuin sitä kuultaisiin irlantilaisessa maaseutupubissa.

A Father and Son’s Impressions of The Troubles in Northern Ireland Through Photograph and Song

LOOK BEHIND YOU! Simply the best treatment of The Troubles I have ever seen or heard. Super! A powerful story of love, loss, war and peace –JIM CAVANAUGH, THE IRISH AMERICAN CULTURAL INSTITUTE

is a critically acclaimed multimedia performance lecture that details how a father and son (both artists) have negotiated the personal and political landscapes of Northern Ireland. A melding of image and voice, anecdote and memory, it showcases Bobbie Hanvey’s prize-winning photojournalism along with radio-edits of his interviews with some of Northern Ireland’s best-known figures. These are complemented and contextualised by singer-songwriter Steafán Hanvey’s story-telling, which comes in the form of critically-acclaimed song-writing, and a trained academic’s gift for presenting complex issues in an engaging manner.

STEAFÁN HANVEY Steafán Hanvey is thoughtful, intelligent and reflective about the culture and family that shaped him, as well as how it has influenced and defined his recent album, ’Nuclear Family’ –NPR

BELFAST SINGER-SONGWRITER Steafán Hanvey was born during one of the bloodiest years in the Northern Irish Troubles. The BBC has said that he has “earned his place at the table” and New York’s Irish Voice called his new album Nuclear Family “Brilliant!”. Steafán is the consummate folk-poet who cites Joni Mitchell and 22-Pistepirkko as being amongst his influences

BELFASTILAINEN LAULAJA-LAULUNTEKIJÄ Steafán

Hanvey syntyi Pohjois-Irlannin levottomuuksien verisimpänä ajanjaksona. BBC:n mukaan hän on ansainnut paikkansa esiintyvänä taiteilijana ja New York Irish Voice -lehti kehui uutta Nuclear Familly albumia huikeaksi. Steafán on folk-runoilijan perikuva, ja esikuvinaan hän mainitsee muun muassa Joni Mitchellin ja 22-Pistepirkon.

MÁIRE THE IRISH HEDGEHOG is a shamrock-shade concert for the whole family by the State Award for Children’s Culture winning children’s duo Soiva Siili and singer/songwriter Mari Vuoritie. The concert is a Soiva Siili-esque adventure into the fairy-tale world of pixies and leprechauns, fairies and kings, enacted through traditional Irish songs and tunes as well as completely new music. You might even hear a few familiar Soiva Siili songs with added Celtic spice.

on Lastenkulttuurin valtionpalkinnon viime vuonna saaneen Soivan Siilin ja laulaja-säveltäjä Mari Vuoritien Irlannin vihreä konsertti koko perheelle. Konsertti on soivasiilimäinen seikkailu maahisten ja menninkäisten, keijujen ja kuninkaitten sadunhohtoiseen maailmaan. Konsertissa kuullaan sekä irlantilaisia kansanlauluja ja -sävelmiä että aivan uutta musiikkia. Saattaapa mukaan lipsahtaa myös jokunen tuttu Soiva Siili -laulu kelttimausteilla höystettynä.

CONTEMPORARY IRISH POETRY SEMINAR “LEONTIA FLYNN has a natural’s feel for cadence and melody ... Affectionate and truculent by turns, disenchanted but relishing the world around her, quick-witted and big-hearted, she looks like the real thing.”

Thus the great Ulster poet Michael Longley describes Leontia Flynn, who is also named as one of 20 “Next Generation Poets” by The Poetry Book Society.

Born in County Down in 1974, she has won numerous awards for her writing, including the Forward prize for Best First Collection for her book These Days (Jonathan Cape, 2004), The Lawrence O’Shaughnessy Award for Poetry in 2013 and the AWB Vincent American Ireland Fund literary award in 2014.

IRISH POETRY AND MUSIC PERFORMANCE LEONTIA FLYNN is one of the most original and accomplished poets of her generation: her voice is distinctive, and her technique as lightly and deftly carried as her learning. Her latest collection, Profit and Loss explores themes of motherhood and marriage. It is a serious book, engaged with the world in which we live and is engaging too – thoughtful, prescient and eminently readable. Leontia’s humour, ability to entertain and her astute powers of observation are wonderful gifts.

FILMS THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY (2006)

THE STAG (2013)

Damian (Cillian Murphy) and Teddy are brothers fighting in a guerrilla war for Irish independence from the British. Through his military experience Damian, a trained doctor, becomes politicised. When a treaty giving an apparent level of victory to the fighters is signed between the British and Irish in 1921, the brothers find themselves pitted against each other. Civil War ensues and betrayals become inevitable...

At his fiancee’s urging, a very modern Irish groom-to-be reluctantly agrees to a stag weekend with his urbane friends, camping in the west of Ireland. Stripped of modern comfort (and finally, clothing) their journey becomes one of accepting their position as men, and of learning to speak the truth to each other about their feelings.

Song of the Sea is the story of Saoirse, the last Seal Child’s journey home. After their mother’s disappearance, Ben and Saoirse are sent to live with Granny in the city. When they resolve to return to their home by the sea, their journey becomes a race against time as they are drawn into a world Ben knows only from his mother’s folktales.
