Description

Tim O?Shea is from Killarney in the south west of Ireland. He has been working solo, and in several bands since the late 1980?s. Tim?s repertoire draws from the dance music of his native Sliabh Luachra and West Kerry folk traditions and the singing of Irish and Scottish performers like Jimmy McCarthy, Paul Brady, Dick Gaughan and Andy Stewart.

Tim O?Shea has a longstanding intuition for drawing good musicians together. His own guitar sounds and vocals string an element of melodic clarity throughout any performance. His friends on this tour are Fossa-based Michael D Kelliher( Accordion, Melodeon and Harmonica) and Rosie Healy from Headford ( Flute, whistle, Vocal harmony) resulting in a blend of beautiful music that slides, lifts, reimagines tempo, remembering the legacy of some of the finest Kerry musicians but also ventures outside it in songs by Karine Polwart and Robert Burns.

Christina Alden and Alex Patterson are the main song writing force behind award winning folk trio Alden Patterson and Dashwood. They have been playing and singing together for the last seven years and have toured extensively in the UK and Europe - including a twenty three date tour with Show of Hands, a show at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall for Celtic Connections and main stage performances at some of the UK's most prestigious folk festivals.
