Size2Shoes & Argos Balkan Gypsy Band 20 - 21 Aug 2011

SAT 20 AUGUST | 2PM & 4PM
SIZE2SHOES:
SILLY STOCKING STORIES & SONGS
Described by violin superstar Nigel Kennedy as “the best singer songwriters in Ireland”, Size2Shoes are Limerick brothers Eoin and Moley Ó Súilleabháin (sons of musicians Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin and Nóirín Ní Riain). Silly Stocking Sories will be an entertaining and interactive concert mixing up dreamy Californian style harmonies, human beatboxing and audience participation, served with a big, fresh dollop of humour. Size2Shoes have recently recorded on the soundtrack and performed on the set of Stephen Spielberg’s new film War Horse, and War Horse’s star Russell Crowe is a big fan: “from the inspired mastery of their harmonies, to the streetwise intellect of their humours [Size2Shoes are] unique, unaffected, awesome”. A great gig for kids… and adults!

SUN 21 AUGUST | 2PM & 4PM
ARGOS BALKAN GYPSY BAND
Argos is an ensemble of multi-instrumentalists from Lille playing gypsy jazz and dance music from all over Europe. The music of the nomadic Roma or Gypsies migrated along with its people over centuries, taking on local musical flavours of host countries all over Europe. In this concert, we hear the French gypsy music made famous by Django Reinhardt, the raucous dance music played for weddings and funerals in Bulgaria, and many other hypnotic melodies and rhythms from the Balkan countries. Featuring jazz singer Sarah Catteau, her brother Oliver (accordion), Dylan Gully (clarinet) and JB Gurrier (double bass), Argos Balkan Gypsy Band’s infectiously energetic music is the perfect way to round off the summer holidays!
