Tarab & Brian Irvine 13 - 14 Aug 2011

SAT 13 AUGUST | 2PM & 4PM
TARAB
Tarab’s flamboyant performances feature music from right across Europe, mixing up and whirling around everything from Irish trad tunes, Moorish dance music and jazz piano to baroque harpsichord and classical. Their concerts at The Ark will transport families to faraway places, as they introduce exotic instruments such as the furulya (flute), daval (drum) and Sicilian frame drums, to the more recognisable saxophone, cello, accordion, flute and bodhrán. Tarab will also help everyone in the audience to join in by clapping rhythms, singing along and even getting to their feet for Irish, Italian and Balkan folk dancing.

SUN 14 AUGUST | 2PM & 4PM
BRIAN IRVINE’S MELONHEAD
Brian Irvine’s music is a wild untamed concoction of all things, and has involved commissions and collaborations with many international artists ranging from opera companies and orchestras to filmmakers, choreographers and DJs. Brian and his Melonhead musicians promise full audience participation and lots of laughter: everyone will be given an instrument to play – no experience necessary!
