From County Meath, Ireland, Paddy Keenan was the Irish piper and whistle player for the famous Bothy Band for the entire time the band performed and recorded.

In a small venue, good acoustics, only 90 seats. Performing with Paddy will be guitarist and vocalist John Walsh. Paddy's jigs, reels and airs backed by guitar, will be the feature of this special concert. " In the wild style of traveling pipers, Paddy Keenan attacks the uilleann pipes with ferocity." Colin Irwin, Melody Maker.

Beoga, in their Tucson premiere show
Saturday, February 28, 2009, 8 pm

Berger Performing Arts Center
1200 W. Speedway.
With guests: Tir Connail Academy of Irish Dance.

Beoga (Irish word for ‘lively’) are a five-piece traditional band based in County Antrim, Ireland. The band was drawn together after ‘jamming’ in a ferocious session at the All-Ireland Fleadh in August 2002. Their unique sound features the twin duelling accordions of Seán Óg Graham and Damian McKee, along with four times All-Ireland bodhrán champion Eamon Murray and pianist Liam Bradley. In 2005, Beoga were nominated by Irish Music Magazine for the best traditional newcomer’s award. With the addition of one of Ireland’s premier young singers, Niamh Dunne, Beoga are confirming their reputation as one of the most exciting acts to emerge from Ireland in recent years.

The bedrock of Beoga’s music lies firmly within the Irish tradition, but they are not afraid to incorporate other genres’ nuances into their music. From bluesy riffs to Astor Piazzola-style jazz, to a raunchy New Orleans jamboree vibe, their music always returns to a wonderfully bouncy traditional sound. With a repertoire of fresh self-penned tunes and inventive arrangements, their debut album 'a lovely madness' earned 9/10 in Ireland’s Hot Press music magazine and was one of the Top Trad/Folk Albums of the year.

The group’s 2007 release Mischief’ received excellent reviews across the board, including a phenomenal 9.5/10 rating from Hot Press. The album is tipped by Irish Music Magazine and US based ‘The Celtic Connection’, among others, as a contender for 2007 album of the year. The Chicago American Times proclaims “super vocals, a terrific staccato beat to the rhythm, with a real sense of style and wit. This is a major band to be reckoned with.” The Irish Echo describes Beoga as “perhaps the most audacious band today” ranking them with Irish group Grada, as the two most promising bands launched in the new millennium.

Beoga has played at the Boston, Kansas and Milwaukee Irish Festivals, the Guinness Irish Christmas tour of Austria, the Irish Folk Festival tour of Germany along with Solas and Kevin Burke, and the Irish Unplugged Tour of Holland with the Fureys and Davey Arthur. In September 2007, Beoga performed live with the BBC Orchestra to a television audience of millions as part of the prestigious ‘Last night of the Proms’

Advance tickets $20; $18 seniors over 60 and TFTM members, available at www.inconcerttucson.com, Antigone Books and the Folk Shop. Info. and disability seats call Don Gest at 981-1475.
