Über Neujahr auf die Insel...?

hier das Programm und so weiter:

Rugadh Frankie Kennedy i mBéal Feirsde i 1955 agus tharraing sé clú agus cáil air féin mar fhliútadóir den chéad scoith. Bhí sé mar bhainisteoir ar an sár-ghrúpa Altan a bhunaigh sé lena bhean chéile Mairéad ní Mhaonaigh. Tá fréamhacha Altan le mothú ar an cheirnín iontach sin le Frankie agus Mairéad, ‘Ceol AduaidhÂ’ a d’éisigh Gael Linn.

Ins na seachtóidí agus sna hochtóidí, tháinig dream óg fliútadóirí chun tosaigh sa Tuaisceart agus bhí Frankie lárnach ina measc. Bhain na ceoltóirí óga seo an-spreagadh ar fad as oidhreacht cheoil sean-cheoltóirí agus amhránaithe Uladh agus tá an rian sin le mothú go láidir ar chuid ceoil Frankie. Bhí an ceol, an chumarsáid agus an chraic sna féitheanna i Frankie i gcónaí.

Bunaíodh Scoil Gheimhridh Frankie Kennedy i mí na Nollag 1994 go luath i ndiaidh bás Frankie a tharla mi Meán Fómhair an bhliain sin. An bunsprioc atá leis an Scoil ná oidhreacht agus fuinneamh Frankie a bhuanú agus a neartú, agus béim a leagan ar cheol Conallach agus Ultach.


Frankie Kennedy, born in Belfast in 1955, became one of IrelandÂ’s best known traditional flute players through his work with the band Altan which he managed and founded with his partner Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh. Frankie and Mairead set the seeds for Altan with their ground breaking album Ceol Aduaidh on the Gael Linn label.

Frankie, a naturally gifted teacher and communicator, was part of a robust wave of young Northern flute players who came to the fore in the Â’70s & 80s. Like his contemporaries, Frankie drew inspiration from the older generation of Ulster musicians and singers.

The Frankie Kennedy Winter School was established in December 1994 following FrankieÂ’s untimely death from cancer in September of that year. The schoolÂ’s vision is to continue his huge contribution to Irish traditional music, especially the music and song of Donegal.


“Frankie Kennedy was an exceptional flute player, one of the masters of the instrument… not simply due to his in-depth understanding of the instrument, his excellent phrasing and tone or his fluency in complex Donegal fiddle tunes but primarily because his own style was so personal to him, so distinctive …” Harry Bradley*

“an excellent flute player with his own unique style. His treatment of slow airs and difficult Donegal fiddle tunes was highly impressive.” Paul McGrattan*

“On first meeting Frankie I felt that I had met a kindred” Matt Molloy*


* from the sleeve notes of the CD An Gaoth Aduaidh/The North Wind (2004))

Beidh mór-cheoltóirí na hÉireann ar an ardán in Ionad Cois Locha: ina measc beidh rí na bhfidléirí Seán Keane (Chieftains) agus rí na bpíobairí Liam OÂ’Flynn; beidh scoith an cheoil ar ghiotár, fidil agus banjo le Arty McGlynn & John Carty; beidh Ciarán Tourish (Altan) ag seinm le Sean Óg Potts, Jimmy Higgins agus Arty McGlynn; agus beidh oíche go maidin san Ostán oíche Chinn Bliana le Beoga, Seamus Begley agus Jim Murray. Ar ndóigh ní Scoil Gheimhridh gan Altan! Beidh dhá choirmcheoil le hAltan agus aoínna speisialta mar chlabhsúr ar an Scoil i mbliana. Tráthnóna mar in gnách beidh ceolchoirmeacha san Ostán le leithéidí Gay, Conor agus Seán McKeon, Arty McGlynn, Martin McGinley agus fidléirí Conallacha agus cuirfidh Harry Bradley agus fliútadóirí iontacha eile buaic ar an chlár le seisiún an-speisialta in omós agus i gcuimhne Frankie Kennedy.

Bíonn an-tóir ar fad ar thicéidi i gcónaí – dá bhrí sin is fiú duit áirithint a dhéanamh a luaithe agus thig leat. Tá cosc iomlán ar thaifead nó craolachán a dhéanamh ar na himeachtaí seo gan cead a fháil roimhré.

The Dunlewey concert programme has a world class line up including the virtuoso duet of Seán Keane (Chieftains) and Liam OÂ’Flynn; master guitarist Arty McGlynn joins fiddle and banjo player John Carty; AltanÂ’s Ciarán Tourish fronts a hot line up including Sean Óg Potts, Jimmy Higgins and Arty McGlynn; and Beoga will share the New YearÂ’s Eve stage in the Ostan with the electrifying Seamus Begley and Jim Murray. Of course thereÂ’s no Frankie Kennedy Winter School without Altan who will be joined by special guests for the final 2 concerts at Dunlewey. The popular afternoon recitals in the spectacular setting of Ostán Ghaoth Dobhair include pipers Gay, Conor & Sean McKeon with Arty McGlynn; Martin McGinley presents the fiddle concert; a special singing event celebrates the close links between Ireland and Gaelic Scotland and to top it off Harry Bradley presents the flute ‘blowoutÂ’ which puts the flute centre stage to celebrate and honour Frankie Kennedy – always a session to remember!

Early booking is strongly recommended as all events sell out quickly. Unauthorised audio and/or visual recording or broadcast or transmission of any of these events is strictly prohibited.

/Spekuliermodus an:
Keine Ahnung, ob es Seamus O'Kane so gut geht, dass er den Bodhranunterricht machen kann...so wie sonst immer. Nun taucht bei einem Konzert der Name Jim Higgins auf...das wäre ja eine sehr gute Alternative...aber ob das so ist..keine Ahnung..../Spekuliermodus aus

so, genug der Spekulation ich habe mal mit Irland gemailt:

Zitat

Yes Seamus will be teaching the bodhran this year which is great.

Also nicht Jim Higgins

s.o. !!!

alles geil !!
Bodhrantechnisch sich erin Leckerbissen: Ciaran Tourish, da dort auch Jimmy Higgins mitspielt. Pipes mit Liam O'Flynn ist super, Altan auch immer, Beoga an Sylvester (auch bodhrantechnisch sehr geil) ist allerdings mehr Sause als Konzert. John Carty finde ich auch obergut...
War jetzt vielleicht nicht hilfreich....
