NIAMH PARSONS AND GRAHAM DUNNE
One of Ireland's finest singers and a great guitarist . A very warm welcome back to Niamh and Graham.
This is a rare chance to hear one of Irelands great singers! Niamh is renowned not only as a brilliant interpreter of traditional songs but also for the way she can transform modern material (for example check out her version of the Briar and the Rose by Tom Waits). Niamh’s singing has a depth and colour that mark her out as truly outstanding. The great Archie Fisher described her as a singer “who only comes along once or twice in a generation”. Niamh has released nine albums over the course of her career, all of them infused with tenderness, conviction and beauty. Niamh is also President of the Irish Musicians Union.
Niamh is accompanied by Graham Dunne on guitar ; they have been performing together since 1999. Their relationship has been described as a “fathomlessly deep musical and yes, spiritual bond…which draws out the essence of the songs.” When not accompanying Niamh Graham is usually seen playing jazz guitar (and even Flamenco!).
Niamh and Graham don’t make it to England too often, so make sure you don’t miss them.
Check out Niamh’s singing at niamhparsons.com
Entrance tonight is £13.

Seb Stone
Start the New Year by coming to hear someone clearly destined to be one of our finest singers! I have a general rule that you have to be over 30 to sing a traditional song well , but hearing Seb sing I realised immediately that he was an obvious exception. You can expect songs sung with lightness, subtlety and intensity. Check out his version of Tamlyn and you'll see what I mean. And he plays the Uillean Pipes ( and whistle) !
Seb is on his own tonight but you can also look for him performing in Culverake , with Matt Quinn and Lizzy Hardingham.
Entrance tonight is £10.
