Post by NicoMoreno »

Alison Perkins and Nick Brown present the first concert of the new Woodland Street Concert series: our friends Sophie Lavoie (Quebecois fiddle) and Fiachra O‘Regan (Irish uilleann pipes), a duo of brilliant musicians that delightfully combine Québécois and Irish music.

Musicians' Details:
Described as “Invigorating” by The Irish Times, Sophie & Fiachra take the Traditional Music of Quebec and Ireland and mate it in a unique way, remaining true to their roots while creating a new and original sound.

Their sound is rooted in the fiddle playing and singing of Quebecoise Sophie Lavoie, the uilleann piping and banjo playing of Fiachra O’Regan from Ireland. Their sound is sweetened all the more by Gaelic and French Canadian song arrangements.

“This is Irish Music with a Quebecois Twist at it’s very, very best” said Mike Harding. This is no surprise given Sophie & Fiachra’s track record with delighted audiences throughout the world – and their deep love for, and intimacy with their respective musical traditions.

“It’s refreshing to hear a traditional band reference the present with such subtlety and finesse” -- Siobhán Long, of The Irish Times
