The Boruma Trio concert in Culnasmear hall Jan 24th 2015
Saturday January 24th is the date for our next concert and what a line-up we have. With names like box-player Andrew MacNamara, fiddler/singer Eileen O'Brien and accompanist Dr. Geraldine Cotter, no superlatives are neccessary to attract knowledgeable trad fans. The Boruma Trio as they are known launched their critically acclaimed CD at the Ennis Trad Fest in November and are in great demand both at home and abroad, juggling dates between their solo careers and other professional engagements. Geraldine and Eileen are no strangers to our branch members having given workshops and master classes a number of times in Cúil na Sméar. Taste in Trad music is often influenced by regional style. The Boruma Trio certainly have that base in the musical triangle of South Galway, East Clare and West Tipperary. Mention the Tulla Céilí Band, Joe Cooley and Paddy O'Brien and you have an idea of their musical provenance. As usual this Cúil na Sméar concert will give patrons a taste of their individual brilliance and their Boruma sound. Tickets can be purchased at Ben O'Neill's or at the door on the night.
