Mayo County Council's Summer Music Series 2009 will feature eight musical performances in venues all around the county. The series had two wonderful concerts in Westport and Ballina already this year and the next events in the series take place in Louisburgh on July 17 and Charlestown on July 18.
On Friday July 17 at 8pm the series will be in Louisburgh Parish Hall with music on the evening from Emer Mayock, Donal Siggins, and Jean Michel Veillon. This trio came together through a Music Network Tour in 2007 and since then have continued to explore and perform Irish, Breton, and newly composed repertoire.
Charlestown Town Hall Arts Centre on Saturday July 18 will host The Sick and Indigent Song Club, a collection of talented musicians who play old time music dipping into a diverse range of styles including blues, country, folk, sea shanties, country gospel, Americana, and bluegrass. The series has a huge following and although the concerts are all free of charge and open to the public booking in advance is essential (max six people per booking ). For a full programme of events or to book contact the Arts Office on 094 9024444, ext 7560, or e-mail: [email protected].
