Third Performance

Planned For Irish Trio

Sliabh Notes, one of today’s top bands from the southwestern Irish region of Sliabh Luachra, will return for a third time to Newtown Meeting House, 31 Main Street, at 7:30 pm on Thursday, March 4, for a concert presented by Fairfield County’s own Shamrock Traditional Irish Music Society.

Combining the talents of fiddler Matt Cranitch, button accordion player Dónal Murphy, and singer-guitarist Tommy O’Sullivan, Sliabh Notes (pronounced “Shleeve Notes”) offers a unique mixture of swift, pulsating dance tunes, emotive slow airs, and Mr O’Sullivan’s blues-influenced, yet uncompromisingly Irish, vocals.  Although their focus  is on the distinctive music of their region, the three members of Sliabh Notes have been energizing audiences around Ireland and the world for more than ten years.

Several of the trio’s previous Newtown concerts have sold out, so early reservations are recommended. Tickets are $20 for adults, $5 for children.

For reservations call 203-256-8453 or send email to TMQuinn@optonline.net.
