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.
About Friends of Celtic Culture:

Nearly fifty concerts, films and seminars later, it is thriving and has plans for many new entertaining and edifying activities. The residents of the Great Lakes Bay region will be treated to exciting bands and speakers that will broaden the region's knowledge of a very rich and historic culture.
