Return of The Unwanted

The Club Sessions is delighted to bring The Unwanted back to the Rugby Club on Friday 3rd
February. The band played here in November 2018 and were hugely popular with the audience.
The rich musical traditions of the Atlantic Fringe – from Ireland to Appalachia
and beyond, are the source material and inspiration for The Unwanted –
three Sligo-based musicians, each with exceptional talent and a lifetime of
dedication to their music. Together, The Unwanted demonstrate a deep
understanding and appreciation of the music of both the Old World and
the New, and their music embodies the continuing process of transformation
arising from the musical ebb and flow along the Atlantic Fringe.
Roscommon born Cathy Jordan, lead singer for acclaimed group Dervish,
moves effortlessly and with soaring voice between Sean-nós, Appalachian
ballad and contemporary folksong, lending rich accompaniment on bodhrán,
bouzouki and guitar-ukelele. Her engaging stage presence and easy interaction
with the audience turns a simple concert into an evening at home among good
friends.
Sligo native Seamie O’Dowd (guitar, fiddle, dobro) grew up steeped in the
tradition of Sligo fiddling, early on expanding his repertoire to include New
World traditions. Today he is as accomplished playing Blues on slide guitar
as he is playing jigs and reels. Seamie is well known both from his years
with Dervish and from his performing with the best of Irish traditional
musicians, such as piper Liam O’Flynn and accordionist Máirtín O’Connor.

Rick Epping (harmonica, concertina, banjo, jaw harp), a native of California,
has been moving back and forth between Ireland and the United States for
fifty years and has been playing the music of both lands since childhood.
Having played with past musical greats as varied as Bill Monroe, Mance Lipscomb,
Doc Watson and Joe Cooley, Rick brings to the group a wealth of experience
and authentic style.
A night of top-quality music and song is guaranteed in an intimate setting.
Doors open at 7.30pm. Concert starts at 8.00pm.
Cost €15 (Cash only please) Contact 086 1677330.
Tullamore Club Sessions is supported by Offaly Arts and Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sports and Media

"Research shows that regularly attending live music events provides much-needed social encounters, lowers stress hormones, contributes to positive mental feelings."

Long awaited Acoustic gig in Tullamore

As we all know had a few ‘issues’ worldwide since 2019 when we were first approach to perform at the Tullamore Folk Club Sessions. The initial date in Nov 2019 had to be moved for different reasons and was set for April 2020. Adiós, that didn’t happen! Finally after all the ordeals, here we come, very excited to play our first ever gig in Co. Offaly with an Unplugged Acoustic setting. Hope to see you there and then.

Friday 30th September, 8pm at the Tullamore Rugby Club, Spollenstown, Tullamore Co. Offaly. Tickets €15 (cash only) from 086 1677330
