Gig Information

Dave Flynn is an award-winning Irish composer and musician, praised as ‘a masterful guitarist‘ in Sing Out! Magazine. His imaginative compositions, celebrated in the New York Times for their ‘power and grittiness‘ transcend traditions and borders.

In ‘Celtic Guitar Journey‘ he presents beautiful guitar arrangements of Irish and Scottish traditional music, exploring the musical connections between these, and other, ‘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.

The concert also highlights connections between Irish traditional music and other countries, showing how certain types of Irish tune styles were imported from other countries including Scotland, Poland and Germany.

There’s also some new Irish-style tunes composed in New Zealand which represent new kind of traditional Irish-Kiwi music.

Flynn has toured his solo show around the world, from Germany to Japan, Ireland to New Zealand.

He returns to New Zealand with a new version of ‘Celtic Guitar Journey’ in Feb-April 2025.

Come to the stunning Senior Citizens Hall, Chris and Sandra will be the special guest performers.

Brought to you with support from Creative Communities Ōpōtiki.
