The Clé Club returns to Liberty Hall, Dublin at 8.00pm on Wednesday September 17, featuring a performance from acclaimed duo Peter Carberry and Padraig McGovern.
Longford accordion player Peter Carberry and piper Padraig McGovern, who hails from Leitrim, won widespread critical acclaim for their most recent album: Forgotten Gems.
They will be introduced at the Clé Club by the legendary Clare musician Tony McMahon, who hailed the release of 2013's Forgotten Gems as a significant event in Irish traditional music.
“It is such an important recording that I believe it should be in the hands of every single person learning to play, or indeed listening to Irish traditional music, and I include myself in that,“ said McMahon, a discerning, uncompromising listener to traditional music.
“Every single track on this CD is worth listening to,“ continued the celebrated accordion-player. “It illustrates a very important aspect of traditional music, which has been vanishing, and that is, what Séamus Ennis used to call 'comfort.' It’s a particular rhythm which is in perfect harmony with the Irish spirit. And this has nothing to do with speed or acceleration. It’s relaxed playing.”
The Clé is a traditional music and singing club which meets monthly in Liberty Hall, Dublin. Admission £5. No booking required. Doors open, 7.30pm. http://www.carberrymcgovern.com/
