Dave Flynn is an award-winning Irish composer and musician, praised as
'a masterful guitarist' in Sing Out! Magazine.
In his show 'Celtic Guitar Journey' he presents beautiful guitar
arrangements of Irish and Scottish traditional music, exploring the
musical connections between these 'Celtic' countries. His programme
goes through the history of Celtic music, from an ancient Irish battle
march, to baroque-era harp music by Turlough O'Carolan, to 19th
century reels and jigs and then some more modern compositions that he
recorded on his acclaimed albums. There's also some new Irish-style
tunes composed in New Zealand which represent new kind of traditional
Irish-Kiwi music.
The concert also highlights connections between Irish traditional
music and other countries, showing how certain types of Irish tune
styles were imported from England, Scotland, Poland and Germany.
A magical concert of guitar music new and ancient!
