The Leonard Cohen Songbook, re-imagined by Dingle’s Pauline Scanlon & Galway trio, The Whileaways. This 8 piece ensemble will perform many of Cohen’s best-loved classics and some lesser known gems. The band includes Matthew Berrill (woodwind) Dave Clancy (keys) and Eamon Murray (drums). Beidh siad sa Daingean don gcéad uair ó bhí 2019 ann, this promises to be a special night, oíche go bhfuil an seans ann go a n-eitleoidh an t-éan thar n-ais chugainn.
Pauline Scanlon galvanized the Irish music scene with her stunning debut album, Red Colour Sun, níos mó ná 10 mbliana ó shin. As a solo artist and as a member of vocal duo LUMIERE, Scanlon has entranced audiences the world over with her distinctly delicate intensity. Pauline has performed and recorded with a wide range of artists lena n-áirítear Damien Dempsey, Sinéad O’Connor agus John Spillane. Tá sí mar bhall de several high-profile groups including Dónal Lunny’s Atlantic Arc Orchestra. Scanlon has presented several music-based television programmes don BBC agus do TG4 leis na blianta beaga anuas, and released her latest album Gossamer in 2016 to critical acclaim.
The Whileaways are three powerful forces in Irish roots music: Noelie McDonnell, Noriana Kennedy and Nicola Joyce combine to create a beguiling tapestry of harmonies, tradition and beautifully crafted original songs.They have released three critically acclaimed albums, toured all over the world, and been nominated for Best Group and Best Album in the RTÉ Folk Awards. Plaudits have been heaped upon the band with The Irish Echo calling their sound ‘perfected simplicity’, and Hot Press saying that the trio ‘stake their claim to being among the finest singers in the country’.
Bird On The Wire brings these accomplished singers together, and on stage they create an emotionally charged atmosphere enhanced by the wonderful lights and stage direction of the show. Fans have been blown away by the show in the UK and it promises to have the same effect on Irish audiences.
