SCOIL NA GCLÁIRSEACH—Festival of Early Irish Harp 14–20 August in Kilkenny www.irishharp.org/festival/ ‘Meet the Artists’ photo no. 7 RÓISÍN ELSAFTY 2019 Performer Róisín comes from Conamara, in the west of Ireland, and grew up in a musical family. Singing came naturally, even before she learnt to speak. Her mother is the well-known singer, Treasa Ní Cheannabháin. Róisín sings in the oldest, a cappella singing style, in the Irish language. Her songs are from an ancient, oral tradition and have been handed down through the generations and from district to district. Listen to Róisín https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8paj2hQHIo&list=RDEMGgwMRa3K6i4KPVXvijZONA&start_radio=1 However, Róisín also enjoys eclectic musical collaborations: from early Irish music to jazz and works with some of the very best known mainstream Irish traditional, and historical, musicians. Róisín has travelled widely with her art, performing, demonstrating and teaching her singing style. Memorable international concerts have included performances at Cité de la Musique in Paris; at the Palais de Beaux Arts, Brussels; and with The China/Ireland Cultural Exchange Programme performing in Beijing and Shanghai. She has also hosted TV and radio shows in English and Irish, both in Ireland and further afield. Róisín’s first solo recording, Má Bhíonn Tú Liom Bí Liom, was released in 2007 on Vertical Records and was widely praised. Described by The Irish Times as ‘a thing of beauty from beginning to end’, it is a collection of traditional and newly composed songs, both accompanied and a cappella. Róisín is a two-time winner of the Irish Music Awards award for Best Sean-Nós Singer 2010 and 2014. She also holds a PhD in biochemistry. #Clarsach #clairseach#earlyirishharp #irishharp#wirestrungharp #harp#irishmusic #kilkennyconcerts#kilkenny #irishmusicfestival#ancientirishmusic#historicalirishmusic #ireland#medievalmusic#irishmusichistory #irishculture#trinityharp #gaelicmusic#edwardbunting #ancientmusic#lostmusic #musicrevival #arpa #竖琴 #ハープ #hāpu #harpe#harpeceltique #arpaceltica#harpebardique (at Ireland (country)) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Gg9f2o0uW/?igshid=ac9mp09w1gck

SCOIL NA GCLÁIRSEACH—Festival of Early Irish Harp 14–20 August in Kilkenny www.irishharp.org/festival/ -- 'Meet the Artists!' No. 5: PAUL DOOLEY 2019 Performer Paul Dooley is one of the leading exponents of the Irish harp in its historical form and style – using a metal-strung harp, playing with the fingernails and damping unwanted string resonance with the fingertips. He studied the construction of medieval Irish harps in Dublin during the early 1980s and has built several harps. He began his performing career on the harp in 1986 and has since appeared on numerous CD recordings and television programmes. He is a multi-instrumentalist, playing the fiddle as well as the harp and is particularly well known as a virtuosic exponent of traditional Irish dance music on the latter, which, for the most part, he has learned from players of other traditional instruments: flute, fiddle and pipes. This music is a real challenge for any type of harp and consequently has not been explored to any great extent on the instrument. In the more recent past he has resumed harp making, building a variety of small harps, reproductions of the surviving medieval harps and researching string-making techniques. Active also as a researcher, Paul has spent the past two decades working on the Welsh Robert ap Huw manuscript, the oldest collection of harp music in existence. Paul now holds a PhD from The University of Limerick, titled ‘Harp Tuning Practice in Medieval Ireland and Wales’. Paul has just released a new recording: The Harper’s Fancy: A collection of jigs, reels, and miscellaneous traditional tunes, old and new, played on the Irish harp http://www.pauldooley.com #Clarsach #clairseach#earlyirishharp #irishharp#wirestrungharp #harp#irishmusic #kilkennyconcerts#kilkenny #irishmusicfestival#ancientirishmusic#historicalirishmusic #ireland#medievalmusic#irishmusichistory #irishculture#trinityharp #gaelicmusic#edwardbunting #ancientmusic#lostmusic #musicrevival #arpa #竖琴 #ハープ #hāpu #harpe#harpeceltique #arpaceltica#harpebardique (at Ireland (country)) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz28rW_Apgp/?igshid=cncwluiu8d82

SIMON CHADWICK Festival assistant director, speaker, workshop leader, tutor. Simon Chadwick is one of the most important experts on the history and traditions of the early Irish harp and is pivotal to the current international revival. Now based in Armagh, in the north of Ireland, he researches, teaches and performs the ancient native music traditions of Scotland, Ireland and neighbouring countries as well as giving lectures and presentations at third-level institutions and in the public sphere, primarily in the UK and Ireland. He has published a pair of tutor books outlining the historical performance tradition for the instrument, a book on advanced playing techniques, and an often-cited article in the scholarly journal Early Music. Simon documents his research on his ground-breaking information website – www.earlygaelicharp.info – which is widely acknowledged to be the pre-eminent published source of information on the early Gaelic harp and its traditions. Simon was born and grew up on the edge of the New Forest in the south of England. His mother taught him change-ringing on tower bells when he was a child. He studied physics before later switching to archaeology. Simon became interested in the old Gaelic harp traditions – based on the earlier work of Ann Heymann – and started gathering information about the extant historical harps preserved in museums. This led to commissioning replicas of them and experimenting with these to understand their set-up and stringing. He has also done enormous work researching, collating and studying the sources for old Irish and Scottish harp music, aiming to restore the old music to the reconstructed instruments. http://www.simonchadwick.net #Clarsach #clairseach #earlyirishharp #irishharp #wirestrungharp #harp #irishmusic #kilkennyconcerts #kilkenny #irishmusicfestival #ancientirishmusic #historicalirishmusic #ireland #medievalmusic #irishmusichistory #irishculture #trinityharp #gaelicmusic #edwardbunting #ancientmusic #lostmusic #musicrevival #arpa #竖琴 #ハープ #hāpu #harpe #harpeceltique #arpaceltica #harpebardique (at Ireland (country)) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzfPZdPAhw5/?igshid=2by9a3vpreo8
