Lane to the Glen, music from County Sligo
Vashon Havurah
15401 Westside Hwy SW
Monday, September 15 at 7:00pm
Doors open at 6:30pm

On Monday, September 15th at 7 p.m. the Vashon Havurah will be hosting the amazing Irish trio Lane to the Glen, a Sligo Traditional Trio comprising Oisín Mac Diarmada (fiddle), Daithí Gormley (accordion), Samantha Harvey (piano, dance). Oisín and Daithí are steeped in the music and history of the Sligo area, having previously collaborated on ‘Fiddlers of Sligo Tunebook’, a publication which set transcriptions of the fiddle repertoire of key Sligo exponents alongside historic images and context.

Daithí Gormley is widely regarded as one of the finest button accordion players of his generation. His remarkably accomplished debut album Fiddling without a Bow brought an expressive mix of old and new tunes played with an attention to detail, and he is regarded as a conduit to past masters of Irish traditional music. Oisín Mac Diarmada and Samantha Harvey perform frequently with Téada, a worldwide-touring band founded by Oisín in 2001. Oisín and Samantha previously recorded The Green Branch, a sparkling album of fiddle and piano in 2015, with subsequent teaching and performing engagements in places such as the United States, Italy, France, and Japan. A $25 (cash or check) donation at the door is encouraged, but nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. Reservations are encouraged. Please call or text Jan Strolle at 206-228-0730 or email Jan at 206-228-0730 to reserve a seat.
