Guitar players applauded and went sadly home to burn their instruments!” -THE BELFAST T ELEGRAPH \nMÁIRE is one of Ireland’s most important and influential tra ditional musicians\, in 2001 receiving Irish music’s most prestigious aw ard\, that of TRADITIONAL MUSICIAN OF THE YEAR – GRADAM CHEOIL TG4 – “for the excellence and pioneering force of her music\, the remarkable g rowth she has brought to the music of the harp and for the positive influe nce she has had on the young generation of harpers”. She began to play t he harp at the age of eleven. A West Cork background steeped in the oral t radition led her\, while still a teenager\, to develop new techniques that made it possible for the first time to play traditional music on the harp in a stylistically accurate way. She won the All-Ireland and Pan-Celtic H arp Competitions several times and in 1985 recorded the first harp album e ver to concentrate on traditional Irish dance music\, The New-Strung Harp – “an intensely passionate and intelligent record and a milestone in I rish harp music” THE IRISH EXAMINER. Her approach has been profoundly in fluential wherever lever harps are played – “a single-handed reinventi on of the harp”. Recent harp festival performances world-wide have inclu ded a solo concert at the 11th World Harp Congress\, Vancouver\; Swiss Har p Festival\, International Harp School\, Wells\, B.C.\, Canada\, and VII R io Harp Festival\, Rio de Janeiro. Two volumes of her arrangements have be en published: The Irish Harper Vols. I and II. She contributed two article s about the Irish harp and modes in Irish music to the Companion to Irish Traditional Music (Cork University Press) and is profiled there\, in Celti c Women in Music (Quarry Books\, Canada) and in the Rough Guide to Irish M usic. “Her work restores the harp to its true voice” THE IRISH TIMES. For further information visit Máire’s personal website. \nCHRIS is a “brilliant English master of the acoustic guitar” (THE DAILY TELEGRAPH )\, a “dazzling player” (ACOUSTIC GUITAR\, USA) whose work is “nothi ng short of brilliant” (DIRTY LINEN\, USA). He began to play guitar at t he age of four and at fourteen played his first paid gig in a folk club. A prolific composer\, arranger and record producer\, he’s played with lum inaries of many musical worlds: folk (harper Máire Ní Chathasaigh\, Boys of the Lough\, Aly Bain\, Kathryn Tickell\, Danny Thompson)\, jazz (Stép hane Grappelli\, Diz Disley and Danny Thompson again) and comedy (Fred Wed lock\, the Pigsty Hill Light Orchestra) – receiving a silver disc for pr oducing Fred’s international hit The Oldest Swinger in Town\, to which h e also composed the tune and which reached No 2 in the charts in the UK an d No 1 in several other countries. As Fred’s Musical Director and bandle ader\, appearances on such iconic national TV progammes as BBC’s Top of the Pops followed. One day in 1985 he decided he’d really rather play in teresting music than pursue interesting paychecks\, so turned his back on the commercial world and returned to his folk and improvisational roots. H e has since concentrated on composition\, the traditional music of these i slands and beyond\, and bluegrass and its intersection with the cutting ed ge of swing jazz – he and Beppe Gambetta are probably the most highly-re garded American-style flatpickers in the world who are not from the US\, a nd he has shared the stage on a number of occasions with Beppe\, Dan Crary \, Mark Cosgrove and many other such luminaries. He is a regular flatpick guitar instructor and performer at Steve Kaufman’s Acoustic Kamp\, held annually in Maryville\, TN. In addition to his work with Máire\, Chris to ured until 1997 as a member of Boys of the Lough in North America\, Sweden \, Finland\, Norway\, Estonia\, Denmark\, China and Italy. He has been pri ncipal guitar tutor for Newcastle University’s Folk B.Mus course since i ts inception. His book of guitar compositions and arrangements Adventures with a Flatpick was published in 2001.
