Dave Flynn is a guitar virtuoso versed in many styles. His cross-genre versatility is represented in his guitar albums ‘Contemporary Traditional Irish Guitar‘ (Irish trad), ‘Winter Variations‘ (ambient minimalism), ‘Dún Laoghaire Guitars‘ (modern classical) and his latest release ‘A Curious Compendium of Crooked Irish Tunes‘. His guitar works are published worldwide by Mel Bay.
As a soloist he has toured around Japan, Europe and New Zealand, where he recently premiered his ‘Celtic Guitar Journey‘ show to great acclaim. ‘Celtic Guitar Journey’ 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, some more modern compositions that he recorded on his albums. ‘Celtic Guitar Journey’ also highlights connections between Irish traditional music and other countries, showing how certain types of Irish tune styles were imported from countries including Scotland, Poland and Germany.
This event is kindly supported by Culture Ireland.
