Like so many other young Irish kids, Dónal was affected by the charismatic Clancy brothers and their triumphal return to Ireland from the USA, in the early 60s. Whilst admiring Luke Kelly's strident style, Dónal soon became enamoured of the high style exemplified by Joe Heaney, Paddy Tunney and Elizabeth Cronin. While Dónal has been primarily associated with unaccompanied singing, he has significant other 'strings to his bow'. Dónal is a fine interpreter of contemporary material, as well as an excellent singer of traditional material, and can accompany himself on a range of stringed instruments. He is universally recognised as one of the finest players of Irish dance music on mandolin and tenor banjo. "If you haven't heard this man yet then why the hell not?" Dick Gaughan "Dónal has what we might call 'Roots', but he has a voice too, and what a voice! It is a wonderfully rich and natural voice that brings a song to life” Hale End Folk Club http://youtu.be/2OyRTbIOsNo Dave Swarbrick with Jake Wilson & Kate Riaz + Brona McVitie + Dan Sumner Friday 24th Feb,7pm.@ DHFC , Edgar Kail Way, London SE22 8BD. Swarb was the very first artist to appear at the Goose Is Out!, over two years ago now, and our opening night was extraordinary! This will now be his third time at the Goose. The finest fiddler and mandolinist, ex Fairport Convention, and loved the world over for his work both solo and as part of a duo with Martin Carthy. Swarb on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYn2AptN ... re=related http://www.swarb.com/biography/ http://www.innerviews.org/inner/swarb.html Brona McVitie County Down singer and harper, Brona was brought up in Rostrevor, where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea. She is thfounder of Rún a London-based group which evolved out of Brona's interest in old Celtic songs and the folklore of her homeland. With a Diploma in Musical Techniques and Composition from London’s Birkbeck, Brona creates close harmony arrangements of what would traditionally be performed ‘Sean nós’ (the old way). Brona is also singer and harper for The London Lasses and Pete Quinn, and more recently Legend. She has twice appeared at the Goose in a previous incarnation with Tanya Jackson as The Woodlarks and tonight we are delighted to have her perform a rare solo gig for the Goose! http://www.runceol.com/ Dan Sumner Not many musicians include an Oatcake recipe with their CDs, but Kent singer/songwriter Dan Sumner appears to come from a different age. He grew up listening to his Dad’s record collection, falling in love with John Martyn and Richard Thompson records. He picked up the guitar at the age of 11, and went on to hone a unique style, fusing his folk roots with elements of blues, rock and jazz into crafted arrangements. After a couple of years cutting his teeth on the London Folk scene, he moved to the south of Spain in search of brighter skies, but moved back a couple of years later with a new found lust for music. Dan's new EP 'The way we did' is on sale now from iTunes and Amazon MP3. CDs sold at gigs and the Union Store, Lewes. http://soundcloud.com/dansumner |
