Four Men and a Dog Big Band and Broken Strings
Old Fruitmarket
Please Note: This is a past event.
Now in their 22nd year, Four Men and a Dog are one of Ireland’s most enduringly popular outfits, a happily self-perpetuating status thanks to their present policy of only playing gigs they know they’ll particularly enjoy. It’s their incandescent, irrepressible live sets that primarily fuel their reputation, primed in turn by superlative musicianship and a distinctive blend of Irish and US, traditional and original material. Leaving the dog aside, tonight they number no less than eight men, including core members Cathal Hayden (fiddle/banjo), Gerry O’Connor (banjo/fiddle), Gino Lupari (percussion/vocals), Kevin Doherty (guitar/vocals) and Dónal Murphy (accordion), plus keyboards, bass and drums.
Winners of the Orkney Folk Festival Open Stage in 2010 and a Danny Kyle Award in 2011, the seven school pals collectively known as Broken Strings have now attained the grand old age of 15, cooking up a rich, buoyant sound on four fiddles, banjo, bagpipes, accordion, mandolin, guitar and cajon.
