Talented duo to perform in Gurteen

There is a fantastic treat in store for music lovers at the Coleman Music Centre in Gurteen, Co Sligo, on Saturday, September 20th, when Angelina Carberry and Dan Brouder perform together. 

Angelina Carberry was born in Manchester into a County Longford musical family steeped in traditional music. Starting on the tin whistle, she later moved on onto the banjo following in the footsteps of her father Peter and grandfather Kevin Carberry. 

Angelina moved to Galway in the late 1990s where she recorded the highly acclaimed album, Memories from the Holla, with her father Peter on accordion and John Blake on guitar and piano. 

Over the years, Angelina has developed a highly personal style with unique rhythmical characteristics. Her unmistakable banjo sound is captured on her solo CD, An Traidisún Beo (2005) and Pluckin’Mad (2014), which were awarded among the Irish Echo’s Top 10 CDs of the year. 

Dan Brouder is a well-respected exponent of the West Limerick accordion style from Monagae, a parish on the outskirts of Newcastle West. He learned his music in the surrounding parishes of Ardagh, Carrigkerry and Glin on the Sliabbh Luachra boundary, drawing on tradition from the 1930s and 1940s. He continued to learn a lot of music by ear in sessions all over Ireland. 

Dan plays regularly in sessions and festivals in West Limerick and around the country. He has performed with various musicians at festivals around the world and is held in high regard among his peers for his musical integrity.

The show begins at 8pm and tickets (€15) are available from 071-9182599 or www.colemanirishmusic.com.
