Meen Souree 2016 June manx music today Turrys - new album from Manx Gaelic singer Ruth Keggin Following the success of her critically acclaimed debut solo album, Sheear ('Westward') in February 2014, Manx Gaelic singer Ruth Keggin will be releasing her second album Turrys ('Journey') on 25th June. Watch the studio preview here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYYyzorxaEk Ruth will mark the date with two album launch concerts with her full band who will be coming over from the UK and Ireland for the gigs. One will take place at Noa Bakehouse on Friday 24th June, and the other at Peel Centenary Centre on Saturday 25th June, both concerts starting at 8pm. Tickets are £8 in advance (available for both gigs from: Celtic Gold, Shakti Man, Peter Norris, Thompson Travel and www.ruthkeggin.com/shop .Tickets for the concert on Friday 24th June will also be available from Noa Bakehouse) or £10 on the door. Ruth’s debut album launch sold-out well in advance, so grab your tickets early! Children are very welcome to both concerts, but due to licensing laws will need to vacate the Noa Bakehouse launch by 9pm. Support will be from talented fiddle-player Isla Callister, who will be moving to Glasgow in autumn to study traditional music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland; well-known multi-instrumentalist David Kilgallon (Mec Lir, Chronicles); and fantastic sean-nós singer and musician Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin, who also features in Ruth's own band. Ruth has performed live sessions on BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio Scotland; at venues such as the British Museum; and at festivals like Celtic Connections and the Festival Interceltique de Lorient. Ruth and her band have also performed joint concerts with the likes of acclaimed Scottish Gaelic singer Julie Fowlis, Irish singer Mary Black, and the band Dàimh. The live studio recording features an eclectic mix of traditional, contemporary and original songs and melodies, arranged in a fresh and imaginative way with a mixture of vocals, flutes, guitar, double bass and concertina. You can pre-order the album now through: www.ruthkeggin.com/shop and on iTunes.
