The Shack - September 2007
7.30pm, Saturday 1st September 2007
Posted Monday, June 25, 2007
The Tramshed
1395a Pittwater Road
Narrabeen
(In between the Ambulance Station and Car Park of Narrabeen Shopping Centre)
Guest artists this month include:
- New York Public Library - a lively, popular, and thoroughly entertaining trio who have been an icon of the Sydney folk scene for years, having begun their career at the original Shack. They play a variety of music including originals, Celtic, comedic and something they call “adapted bluegrass”.
- Triantán - Triantán is a wake up call for anyone who thinks Celtic music is misty stuff. Their blend of Gaelic and English, of spine-chilling laments, blood-curdling war chants, songs of love and betrayal, of drinking bouts and dancing, leave an unforgettable impression of the richness of traditional life in Scotland and Ireland. They also have a body of fine Australian songs whose heritage is conspicuously Gaelic.
- Sarah Fogarty and Margaret Salem - Two wonderful singers performing songs and music that come straight from the heart. Their lush harmonies are to die for . . .
The Shack is held on the first Saturday of every month. There's a cover charge of $15 (or $10 for members, students and pensioners) to cover costs. The Shack is a non profit organisation – all proceeds go toward the promotion and presentation of original, contemporary and traditional 21st century folk music.
