COLM MAC CON IOMAIRE

Type : Gigs

In a crowded field of outstanding Irish fiddle players and interpreters of traditional music, Colm Mac Con Iomaire is unique.
After starting the band Kíla with school friends, Colm went on to found and continues to play with The Frames, who celebrated 25 years together in 2015 with major summer shows in Cork and Dublin .
With the release of his absolutely stunning second album And Now The Weather (Agus Anois An Aimsir) and the unveiling of a new live ensemble, the penny is beginning to drop that Colm, rather than just the member of a band is himself a gifted force in Irish music, in instrumental music, in world music.
Drawn from a contemporary collage of ideas and influences that defies specific genre, the music is transformative, emotive and positively inspirational.
“These are tunes that are effortlessly cinematic, conjuring images of weather-beaten coastlines and vast green expanses… a consistently beautiful and frequently incandescent collection” – The Irish Times (Album of the Week)
The album was recorded by Karl Odlum, Leon O’ Neill and Colin Elliot in studios and homes across Wexford, Wicklow, Sheffield, Dublin and San Francisco.
The new album follows from Colm’s debut solo album in 2008, The Hare’s Corner, which he performed as guest of The Swell Season at Belfast’s Grand Opera House.
