Declan Ó Rourke & Ben Glover ag An Droichead

Gaeilge

Ní raibh an scéal amuigh ar Declan Ó Rourke le fada. Réalta rúnda na hÉireann a bhí insa cheoltóir iontach seo go dtí gur thosaigh a chéad albam, “Since Kyabram” ag saothrú léirmheasanna den scoth, ag fás lucht éisteachta idirnáisiúnta, agus ag cothú lucht tacaíochta dílis a bhfuil a leithéidí Paul Weller, Snow patrol agus Kate Rusby ina measc.

Ar eisiúint an albaim in Éirinn, bhain “Since Kyabram” stádas platanam faoi dhó chomh maith le duais na hirise Hot Press ‘Céad Albam is Fearr’. Tháinig conradh mór taifeadta le V2 agus conradh foilsithe le BMG ina dhiaidh sin, chomh maith le comhluadar óna chomhghleacaithe: fuair sé cuirí chun seinm mar thacaíocht do Snow Patrol ag Páirc Mharlaí i mBaile Átha Cliath, Teddy Thompson ar a thuras sa Bhreatain, The Divine Comedy ar dhátaí áirithe sa Ghearmáin agus sa Bhreatain, agus fiú chun seinm ag an chlub clúiteach 100 Club, ar iarratas ó Paul Weller.

Tá an scéal amuigh anois, agus níos mó daoine ag caint i rith ama fán ghuth seo nach bhfuil a mhacasamhail ann, agus a amhráin simplí álainn. Baineann liricí Declan le gnéithe uilig an duine. Díríonn a hamhráin isteach ar ghnáth-mhothúcháin achan lae, agus tarraingíonn a ghuth an éisteoir. Tá draíocht chiúin agus gliceas sa stíl aige a chuireann sonas agus suaimhneas ar lucht éisteachta bíodh siad ina ghrúpa beag bídeach nó ina slua de mhílte.

“Singing in a velvet-tinged bartitone with a killer falsetto….it’s a rare gift that his music can bear comparison with so many classic era troubadours, Fred Neil, Jackson Browne and Bruce Springsteen while still sounding so completely original” Nigel Williamson, Uncut

Declan O’Rourke used to be one of Ireland’s best kept secrets, but rave reviews for his debut album ‘Since Kyabram’, a growing international fanbase and an enviable collection of eminent devotees, including Paul Weller, Snow Patrol and Kate Rusby, are rapidly changing that.

On its release in Ireland, ‘Since Kyabram’ reached double platinum status and garnered Hot Press magazine’s ‘Best Debut Album’ award. A major record deal with V2 and a publishing deal with BMG followed, as did patronage from his peers – invitations to support Snow Patrol at Marlay Park in Dublin, Teddy Thompson on his British tour, The Divine Comedy for dates in Germany and Britain, and to perform at the legendary 100 Club at the request of Paul Weller.

The buzz is growing, based on the simplicity of great songs and a unique voice. Declan’s lyrics touch on all aspects of the individual, his songs focus on the centre of everyday emotions and his voice irresistibly draws the listener in. He has an understated charm, a quick-wittedness that make him highly endearing live and equally at home playing to one person as he is to thousands.

Ceolchoirm le John Spillane & Lumiere

Dé hAoine 15 Eanáir 2010

“One of the great songwriters to emerge in the last 10 years is John Spillane”

Christy Moore “Other Voices” Feb ‘09

Mar bhuaiteoir faoi dhó de ghradam “Meteor” sa chatagóir ceol na ndaoine/traidisiúnta is fearr, rinne John Spillane camchuairt ar fud na tíre agus an domhain ag spreagadh áthais le meascán d’amhráin shéiseacha, scéalta siamsúla agus liricí fileata.

Rinne Irish Music Magazine cur síos air mar ‘one of the truest Irish voices of his generation’ ‘ agus cuireann Spillane an spiorad Ceilteach i bhfriotal.

Níl ach rud amháin atá cinnte, ag deireadh seó john Spillane ní bheidh súil thirim ar bith sa teach agus tabharfaidh sé ar thuras thú bíodh sin lena amhráin mhothúchánacha nó lena acmhainn grinn Chorcaíoch nó nach mbíodh.

I Lumiere tá Éilís Kennedy agus Pauline Scanlon; beirt amhránaithe eisceachtúla ón Daingean, Chontae Chiarraí, a bhfuil dhá ghuth soiléire ar leith agus fuaim uathúil amháin acu, Éire is ea í. Le chéile mar Lumiere, tá fuaim agus mothúchán baineann ina gcuid ceoil, arb é an guth an phríomhuirlis cheoil é agus arb í Éire an mháthairthír athshamhalta í. Le Lumiere, is é an t-amhrán agus a chanadh an príomhfhócas é, geilleann na buarthaí teicniúla do mhothúcháin agus an t-amhrán agus an t-amhránaí ag teacht le chéile gan stró.

Sa gheilleagar domhanda reatha, is bréagamhráin iad amhráin ainmheasarthachta agus ábharaíocha. Ceolann Lumiere rud éigin níos iomláine agus níos fire. Seo fíoramhránaíocht canta ag fíoramhránaithe ag cur fíormothúchán in iúl. Glacann Lumiere amhráin atá naofa agus sean agus déanann siad athshamhlú simplí agus álainn orthu, ag athéileamh na fírinne agus na muiníne don aois nua-aimseartha.

John Spillane & Lumiere in concert

“One of the great songwriters to emerge in the last 10 years is John Spillane”

Christy Moore “Other Voices” Feb ‘09

Twice winner of the meteor award in the best folk/trad category, John Spillane has toured the country and the world spreading joy with a mix of melodic tunes, entertaining stories and poetic lyrics.

Described as ‘one of the truest Irish voices of his generation’ by Irish music magazine, Spillane truly embodies the Celtic spirit.

The only thing that’s for sure is that whether from the emotive tunes he whisks you on a journey with or his dynamic playful Cork wit, at the end of a John Spillane show there won’t be a dry eye in the house.

In the current global economy, songs of excess and materialism ring hollow. Lumiere offers something more holistic and true. This is real music by real singers communicating real emotions. Lumiere takes something that is sacred and age old and re-imagines it simply and beautifully, reclaiming truth and trust for the modern age.

Two distinct voices one unique sound. Lumiere is Éilís Kennedy and Pauline Scanlon; two exceptional vocalists from Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland. Together as Lumiere, they offer a distinctly feminine sound and feel, where voice is the primary instrument and Ireland as motherland is re-imagined. With Lumiere, the song and its delivery are the primary focus, technical concerns give way to feeling as song and singer effortlessly merge.

Ceol Beo ag An Droichead – live music at An Droichead

Tá An Droichead i ndiaidh clú a tharraingt air féin le bliain go leith anuas mar an príomh ionad ceoil thraidisiúnta
i ndeisceart Bhéal Feirste. Chuaigh an scéal sin ar fud Béal Feirste agus níos faide anonn; rud a chuidigh linn na
ceoltóirí ab fhearr i gcóngar agus i gcéin a mhealladh chuig an lárionad seo. Lóchranna ceiliúrtha atá sna
coirmeacha ceoil abhus anseo sa lárionad. Bíonn atmaisféar ar leith ann agus is minic cuairteoirí nua ag déanamh
tagairt dó ar theacht anseo den chéad uair agus sin ceann de na cúiseanna gur minic a bhíonn na seóanna díolta
amach. Tá a fhios ag idir thionscnóirí agus ealaíontóirí go mbeidh lán tí ann agus lucht éisteachta i láthair atá
eolach agus tuisceanach ar an cheol agus cuireann sin ar ár gcumas ealaíontóirí traidisiúnta den scoth a mhealladh
go deisceart Bhéal Feirste, mar atá Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Dermot Byrne de chuid Altan, Julie Fowlis, TólaCusty,
John Spillane, Alan Kelly,Tim Edey & Bríd Harper agus daoine eile nach iad.

Over the past year and a half An Droichead has quickly and professionally established itself as the premier
traditional music venue in South Belfast. Moreover, this is a reputation that has travelled throughout Belfast and
beyond; one which has granted us access to the very finest of international and local traditional music talent.
Concert nights are a beacon of musical celebration here at the Lárionad. The atmosphere is always commented
upon by our first time visitors, and is one of the reasons that our concert nights are now regularly sold out. The
fact that promoters and artists alike are aware that they will play to a full house and to an appreciative and
knowledgeable audience enables us to attract the cream of traditional artists to south Belfast e.g. Maireád Ní
Mhaonaigh of Altan , Julie Fowlis,Tóla Custy, John Spillane, Alan Kelly to name but a few.
