House Concert April 5th, 2008
Concert Time: 8:00pm. Doors open at 7pm.
Seamus Tansey
One of the foremost and finest flute players in the pure tradition of his native Sligo, Séamus, who was born in 1943, came to prominence after winning the All-Ireland title in 1965 and Seán Ó Riada's special radio Fleadh Cheoil the same year. He recorded prolifically in the 1970s for a variety of labels, but then followed a lengthy hiatus before the release of "Easter Snow" in 1997 and "To Hell with the Begrudgers" (with the Antrim fiddler Jim McKillop) in 1998. Though spending the first twenty or so years of his life in County Sligo, for many years Séamus has been based in County Armagh. Never afraid to champion his beliefs in the core principles of the tradition and those who fought to ensure the music's survival against the long odds of deprivation and emigration, Tansey has never feared speaking his mind.
