Description
Friends of Celtic Culture presents Blackthorn Concert. Blackthorn welcomes you to the rich tapestry of Celtic music. Traditional songs of emigration, sea shanties, lively jigs and reels and ancient airs combine with some of Ireland’s best contemporary songs for an upbeat musical experience that captures the history and legend of Ireland and its people. What makes a Blackthorn show unique is the variety of tunes, tempos and textures. Each member of the band plays multiple instruments, including wooden flute, accordion, tin whistle, cittern, and bones in addition to guitar, bass and fiddle. These instruments complement the lead vocal of Belfast native Richard McMullan and the band’s tight blend of four part harmony.
