    Frankie Lane & Paul Kelly Fri Dec 28th, Minogues Bar, Tulla Doors 9:30 pm, Admission : €15 Do Check out our new MYSPACE PAGE FOR SOME AUDIO/VIDEO OF PAST SHOWS AND PHOTOGRAPHS ETC AT: http://www.myspace.com/claregigs Our Next show is Frankie Lane ( Guitar, Dobro and Vocals) and Paul Kelly (Violin and Mandolin). These guys have been with us in Minogues the last two years at Christmas time and have delivered marvellous performances that reside in the musical memories of our patrons. A night with Frankie Lane & Paul Kelly is a night of fun and wild entertainment. They are one of the best-known duos touring in Ireland at the moment. What sets Frankie and Paul apart from other duos is the sheer scope of their material. You'll hear Irish Traditional tunes and songs, American Folk, Western Swing, Jazz, Classical, Bluegrass, and even a Gypsy number or two! As one of Ireland’s best-known performers and traditional musicians of international renown, Frankie Lane is the original front man of the legendary Fleadh Cowboys. During their sparkling career in the 1980s, Frankie’s live performances were famed for being fun-filled as well as tremendous - he regularly scaled high balconies in his quest to drive the audience wild, and usually managed! In fact, the “Fleadhs” gathered a huge fan base at the Olympia Theatre and went on to support legendary performers such as Bob Dylan, U2, The Pogues, Emmylou Harris and B.B.King. Paul Kelly has been at the heart of the music scene in Ireland since the early eighties.

The tionól is a weekend crammed full of workshops and an open-to-the- public concert. To mark the special occasion of this 10th tionol, GNIPC will be bringing (from Ireland) the legendary Michael "Blackie" O'Connell. Joining Blackie will be Dubliner Pat D'Arcy (a perennial GNIPC tionól favorite!) and Chicago-based piper and flute player Sean Gavin (known to audiences for his performances with Bua and Nicgaviskey).

The tionol workshops offer the interested and curious an intimate view of this iconic instrument and its music. Even if you don't own a set of pipes, you will find the workshops to be an occasion of fun and inspiration, an eye-opener into the original source of so much of the Irish traditional music that we cherish today.
