Mairtin O’Connor @ Doolin Folk Festival, Country Clare - Irish Republicby Rob Howard |
  Diatonic accordionist Mairtin O’Connor is one of the guests at this year’s Doolin Folk Festival, Country Clare, in the Irish Republic. The festival takes place from June 13th to 15th. Mairtin O'Connor, from Galway, has had a remarkable career stretching back to the late 70s. As well as performing as a leading member of De Danaan, Boys of the Lough, and other traditional bands, he has also recorded and toured with The Chieftains, Mark Knopfler, Elvis Costello, Rod Stewart, and on the highly popular Riverdance show. Mairtin O’Connor is also an imaginative composer, whose music fits well within the idiom of Irish traditional music yet often heads in new directions musically, with many fine recordings to his credit. |
