IRISH MUSIC AND DANCE WITH “NA MOCHÓIRI” FROM IRELAND

Cian, Bríd and Emma are first cousins and best friends from Ballymacarbry, Co. Waterford. and they play regularly together. Their name “Mochóirí” is an old Irish word and means “early risers”. They all started early playing music- They have won numerous competitions and performed live on RTE Radio and Television and they all come from a musical background. I saw them on TG4 (Gaelic Television Ireland) where they took part in a music competition for families. They made it to the final round and like the Juries and the audience I was taken by the liveliness and spirit of their music and dance. So I am delighted they I found them at long last and that they are coming to Zürich for their first concert in Switzerland. They are looking forward to that.

Emma Corbett (19): Accordion and Melodion

Mike and Barbara are Cornwall’s great ambassadors. They have been working together for nine years performing folk tales, folk songs, and traditional instrumental music from their adopted home of Cornwall. There are few in the land with the skills and knowledge to perform such works. Together Mike O’Connor and Barbara Griggs are master and mistress of eloquence and melody. Their stories and music – together or separately – are much sought after, and the good humour they bring to their performances delights audiences across Europe.
