Rory Mooney, 15 Jun
Music lovers will be spoiled for choice this June, as Flowerfield Arts
Centre, Portstewart and Roe Valley Arts Centre, Limavady host two
exceptional live music events.
The performances will showcase traditional Irish music and contemporary
jazz, featuring renowned artists and exciting new works.
Irish trad band Réalta returns to Roe Valley Arts Centre on Friday
28th June, after their sold-out show in April last year. Their
performance will premiere "The Leap," a 15-minute love song to
Limavady, co-written by Conor Lamb and Deirdre Galway. The new piece
will be presented in a Crankie Box, an ancient storytelling format,
with visuals crafted by artist Peter Crann.
The evening, supported by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland Rural
Engagement Arts Programme, also features a live reading by local poet
Anne McMaster and performances from musicians from Jimmy O’Hara and
Comhaltas Ceoltóirà Éireann.
On Saturday 29th June, Flowerfield Arts Centre will host the Phil
Robson Organ Trio, featuring Phil Robson on guitar, Ross Stanley on
organ, and Gene Calderazzo on drums. They will perform selections from
their critically acclaimed album
"The Cut Off Point," offering a fresh take on the jazz tradition of the
organ/guitar trio. Phil Robson's innovative guitar work, praised by The
Telegraph and AllAboutJazz, promises an evening of dynamic and
captivating jazz.
