Donal Ring in Variety Show, Cork – Irish Republicby Rob Howard |
The Donal Ring Ceili Band performs in The Cork Artistes Variety Show, alongside several other artistes, on Sunday November 4th, 7.30pm, at the Everyman, 15 Maccurtain St, Cork. Accordionist Donal Ring, from Cork, formed his ceili band in 1958. Having admired the music of Jimmy Shand and with the intention of developing his own individual playing style, in 1956 he purchased a Shand Morino 3-row button accordion. The present line up is very much a family affair that includes sons Dermot Ring – 5-row button accordion & vocals, Donal Ring junior – 5-row accordion, daughters Mary (Ring) Devereux – piano, Breda (Ring) Cashman – drums and vocals, and Pat Riordan – vocals. The Donal Ring Ceili Band has performed many times on radio and TV, made many albums, and performed overseas in Britain, Canada, and the Netherlands.
