This is the announcement for those of you that didn’t see it on www.blarneystar.com
January 16, 2009: Ivan Goff and Jerry O’Sullivan
Two of the leading uilleann pipers in the New York area will share this dual recital. Ivan Goff is a native of Dublin who has been residing in NYC for several years. A veteran of Riverdance on Broadway, Ivan is currently working on a PhD in ethnomusicology at NYU. Jerry O’Sullivan, his partner in piping for this concert, is perhaps the best known American-born master of the uilleann pipes. Jerry is much in demand for performances with symphony orchestras and for movie soundtracks. He has also received much acclaim for his solo recordings, including O’Sullivan Meets O’Farrell, a CD devoted to music published by a famed theatrical piper of the early 19th century.
