"Irish music is the expression of the universal muse. What gives it its unique character is that this muse has been expressed through our unique cultural milieu and ethos. It represents the experience and aspirations of a collective of musicians spread through time. The music is more than just one point of view. It is many things. It is dance music, it is music of community and sharing. It is music to listen to, music to remember by, and to express through. At any one time it contains all of these attributes, but in varying degrees." The words of Martin Hayes himself.
The Village Arts Centre is thrilled to have Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill back again on Friday, May 24 (booking advised).
Their new album entitled 'Welcome Here Again' is a joy to listen to. The playing of this incredible duo renders the essence of the tunes, revealed in their purest form, accessible and appealing to all - the mesmeric rhythms, the tantalizing slow release of melody, the extra tone from viola or tuned-down fiddle, all of that and more is on this album.
"If your live music rations were limited to a single concert in the entire year, then you'd be either crazy or foolish if you didn't pass that precious time in the company of Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill.” Irish Times
