WGBH Music: The Teetotallers | Live at The Burren

Details

Description

It's a rare treat, indeed, to see three Celtic superstars perform together on stage in an intimate space like the warm Backroom of The Burren in Somerville, MA. Pull up a seat and witness Kevin Crawford (Lùnasa flautist and whistle player), Martin Hayes (Clare fiddle genius), and John Doyle (world renowned Celtic guitarist) perform a foot-stomping medley of tunes in front of a lively sold-out crowd.

Hayes has been the All Ireland Fiddle Champion six times, and has won a National Entertainment Award, and the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2000 award for Instrumentalist of the Year.

Doyle has collaborated with the likes of Kate Rusby, Susan McKeown, Karan Casey and Heidi Talbot.

Crawford joined "Moving Cloud" in 1993 and then "Lúnasa" in 1997, replacing Michael McGoldrick. Crawford became the "frontman" for Lúnasa during their live performances.
