11. Patrick's Day Celebration: A celebration of Irish songs and music

With:

Aaron Shirlow - Singer, Guitarist, Songwriter

Aaron was born in Belfast. From a young age, he was fascinated by the power of songs and singing, of words and voice, initially listening to his father, who was often asked to "sing a song." But it wasn't just the powerful music of Ireland that brought him great joy; American folk music, and especially the fusion of contemporary and traditional styles, rekindled his original love for his specialty: the voice and the guitar.

Robbie Doyle

Irish folk singer Robbie Doyle was born in County Kilkenny, Ireland.

He grew up in West Clare on the Atlantic coast, sometimes called the home of traditional Irish music and song. When he was very young, the Doyle family moved to West Waterford, near the Gaelic-speaking Ring region, where Robbie discovered his great natural talent as a performer and appeared on stage at concerts, theatrical productions, and local events. When he moved to Dublin in the early 1970s, Robbie became a well-known figure in the thriving traditional music and ballad scene, where he was very active.

Gal Binyamin

Gal has a classical education but is a folk musician at heart. He is an Irish violinist active in Berlin's trad sessions and a member of the Nightlark Ceilidh Band.

Peter O’Callaghan

Peter grew up in Cork, Ireland, where Irish tradition and music were always a part of his life. However, it was during his studies in Dublin that the then-emerging Irish music revival movement became a regular part of his leisure time. At that time, he mainly played the bodhrán and mandolin. In the 1990s, when he moved to Berlin, he switched to the banjo, which proved more suitable for the traditional pub sessions of that era. His primary interest lies in the intensive study of tradition and its dance rhythms. The tenor guitar tuned to banjo tuning has since become one of his favorite instruments for more mellow interpretations of the music.
