Donal & Oisin of Danu will perform at a house style concert (only bigger!) at IAANJ at 352 Richard Mine Rd. Rockaway NJ, Saturday 9/29 at 8:00PM. Even better, we will have a session afterwards. Free refreshments and parking. Cape Breton Fiddler Amy Beshara and her band will do an opening set.
Tickets are $20 or $15 for IAANJ members. Ticket holders and reservations will be allowed in first, so please make a reservation if you think you will be attending. If you would like to order tickets ahead, contact irisnevins@verizon.net rather than posting a reply here.
Donal & Oisin will also each offer a workshop from 4:00 - 5:30 for $35. Resevations for that are a must, so please get in touch.
As far as I know this is a one off show… but I will suggest they tour as a duo and let people know when I see them. I think maybe Donal has other irons in the fire with other music, not sure. Not sure what Oisin is up to.
It’s not sooooo far, drive down!! we have a great party, a session, a great Cape Breton Fiddler named Amy Beshara will open the second set, good food… there are some Days Inns and such in the area too. I know… a lot of work!! But you’d have fun.
Hi Irisnevins–thanks for the prodding, but I don’t think I’ll be able to make it that weekend. Definitely ask them to take the duo on the road. I’ve seen Danu twice, and I would like to see Oisin in a solo gig. Donal Lunny–what can I say–a titan in ITM! I haven’t seen him live, but I’d like to sometime. While you’ve got them, might as well ask Donal to bring Andy Irvine, too!
Oisin is organizing 4 levels of Ceili band. You do an hour class with you instrument and an hour with Oisin leading a ceili group at your level. He’s not teaching fiddle this semester.
Thanks for the info, DW. I wasn’t aware that he was working with CCE. Saturdays aren’t good for me this fall, but I’ll have to check it out in the January.
