At First Light in Concert

Event information

"Irish trad gets a kick up the backside with
this dream-teamline-up of fiddle, uilleann
pipes and crystal-clear vocals. The Pixies
meets Planxty? Now there's a thought"
The Irish Times

At First Light comprises the talents of world renowned Uilleann
Piper John McSherry and outstanding young fiddle player Dónal
O'Connor creators of Tripswitch, which has been described as
'Acoustic perfection'. Combined with the sublime talent of Francis
McIlduff from the famous McPeake clann, the power, clarity and
sheer joy of Alan Burke formerly of the band Afterhours and
'Asturien Traditional Musician of the Year 2006' Rubén Bada and you
can see why the band is being portrayed as 'a dream team line up”.

Sa ghrúpa At First Light tá an píobaire uilleann a bhfuil clú
domhanda air JohnMcSherry agus an fidléir iontach Dónal
O'Connor, ar chruthaitheoirí Tripswitch iad a ndearnadh cur síos air
mar‘foirfeacht fhuaimiúil’. I gcomhar le tallann oirirc Francis
McIlduff ó theaghlach clúiteach McPeake, le cumhacht, soiléireacht
agus lúchair thréan ó cheol Alan Burke arbh iarbhall den bhanna
ceoil Afterhours é, is féidir leat an fáth a thuiscint a bhfuiltear ag
tabhairt 'foireann ceoltóirí aislingeach' orthu.
Ag meascadh amhrán traidisiúnta le ceol cumhachtach agus mín na
bpíopaí, na fidle, na bhfeadóg, an ghiotáir agus an bhodhráin,
cruthaíonn At First Light fuaim shonach a thugann an lucht
éisteachta ar thuras fionnachtana ó fhréamhacha go todhchaí cheol
traidisiúnta na hÉireann.
