Paudie O'Shea
Paudie O'Shea has been playing a mix of trad, irish, folk, rock and contemporary music for over eight years. Coming from a musical family originally from Cahersiveen Co Kerry, Paudie takes inspiration from the great Irish and folk music legends such as Luke Kelly, Christy Moore, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash and also likes to cover contemporary artists such as U2, Coldplay, Oasis, The Kooks and many more. His talent has taken him around the world, playing venues in Hawaii, California, Boston, Melbourne, Sydney, Abu Dhabi, Edinburgh, London, Liverpool, Manchester and all around Ireland.
Plus
Guitarist and singer, Jack Badcock (Co. Kilkenny) and multi-instrumentalist, Ciaran Ryan (Brechin, Angus) are two of the younger but well known musicians on Edinburghs traditional music scene.
They met while playing together in sessions round Edinburgh and soon formed a tight duo and became busy gigging regularly around the city.
Stomp your feet to Ciarans expressive banjo playing accompanied by Jacks syncopated, percussive guitar style. Close your eyes and listen to Jacks emotional songs of love, war and social comment beautifully complimented by Ciarans fiddle and mandolin accompaniment.
Plus
The award winning Fiddle Player Pierce O'Brien - winner of the 2011 St Bede's College Musician of the Year
