With fiddle, pipes, accordion, flutes, whistles, bodhran and more, we at In Concert! consider Danu the finest Irish traditional band in the world today. The Irish Music Awards agree, giving them the Best Traditional Irish Band award in 1999, and the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards gave them best band award in both 2001 and 2004, and with their new vocalist, an award for best live song performance. In recent news, "Danú will be embarking on a three week long tour in January and February 2006. The highlight of this tour will be a six day visit to India in January with the Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and an Irish trade delegation." |
A
seven-piece band from the Waterford area of Ireland, Danú greatly
impressed two sold-out Tucson audiences, and are returning after a three
year absence. Their two CDs out since then are even better than their
first two, and Tucson now looks forward to their return. Joining the
band is vocalist and whistle player Muireen NicAmhlaoibh, from the Irish
speaking area of County Kerry. With a stunning voice and stage presence,
plus her playing on whistle duets, she adds a new dimension to 
an
already great band sound.|
RE: For immediate release Danu In Concert Living Traditions Presentations is proud to bring you
Danu in concert. Danu are an Irish traditional music group based in
an Rinn/Ring, Co. Waterford, Ireland, made up of seven traditional musicians,
hailing from counties Waterford, Dublin, Kerry and Donegal. The group
has a strong ethos of loyalty to the tradition from which their music
comes and yet still bring a fresh, inspiring approach to their performances.
A wonderfully lively group on stage, a DANÚ concert is a unique
experience, never to be forgotten. |
