Fieldの 洲崎一彦さんから...。4/8木曜日、fieldにて、20時～Dave Arthur and Dan Stewart with Friends・Dave Arthur / banjo,melodion,guitar,vocal・Dan Stewart / banjo,guitar,vocal・Pete Cooper / fiddle,vocalとして案内しておりました、Rattle On the Stovepipe というイギリスのトラディショナルバンドのライブがあります。一般にオールドタイムと呼ばれているアメリカのアパラチア山脈に伝わる伝統曲は元はスコットランドを中心としたアイルランドやイングランドからの移民がもたらしたブリテン諸島の音楽を起源とするものが多いのですが、このバンドは同じ曲をアメリカに渡る前、後というメドレーを組む等、これまでには無かった視野でトラッドミュージックを聴かせてくれます。このバンドのメンバーが日本で3人揃うという状況は実は珍しいことらしく、今後生で彼らの音楽を聴ける機会はほとんどないと行っても良い貴重なライブです。皆様のお越しをお待ちしております。このチャンスをお見逃し無く！（ライブは通常どおり投げ銭制です）

PAT O’CONNOR @ The Gael June 12th Friday

Special Irish Music Live @ The Gael June 12th Friday Start 20:30 No cover charge. Fiddle player Pat O'Connor comes from Ennis in County Clare and has been playing music all his life. As a child he studied Piano-accordion, banjo, mandolin, and bouzouki, before finally settling on the fiddle as his weapon of choice. Pat settled in Feakle several years ago and soon established the annual Feakle Music Festival. He has two acclaimed solo CDs "The Green Mountain" and "The Humours of Derrybeha". Pat’s music has the moderate pace and easy flow associated with County Clare. Home-grown, "pure drop" traditional music. Don't miss it!! See you @ the Gael ! Shiori Jackson, The Gael
