MAY 8: PADDY KEENAN and JOHN WALSH
Paddy Keenan’s spectacular virtuosity on the uilleann pipes is legendary. He achieved international renown in the 1970s with the Bothy Band, a ground-breaking group that revolutionized the sound of Irish traditional music and helped win it a new worldwide audience. Paddy’s piping prowess has not faded over the decades and his talent for up-tempo improvisation must be heard to be believed. Paddy is also one of the great exponents of the “low whistle,” an instrument with an intimate, breathy tone that makes it a perfect vehicle for slow airs. Paddy will be accompanist by John Walsh, a superb Kilkenny-born guitarist who now lives in Yonkers and has released his own solo recording, Aon, Do, Tri.
