THE RAW BAR

Seoladh an Raw Bar Folk Club sa Garrick i mBéal Feirste ar na mallaibh le seisiún den scoth ó Damien O'Kane, Brian Finnegan agus Éamonn McElholm. Is é Pól Ó Floinn Oifigeach na n-Ealaíon Traidisiúnta ag Comhairle na n-Ealaíon Thuaisceart Éireann. Tugann sé féin agus Jim Rainey le fios dúinn go raibh sé ar intinn acu tús a chur le club den chineál seo le fada an lá.

Brian Finnegan, Damien O'Kane and Éamonn McElholm were the first performers to kick off the brand new Raw Bar Folk Club at the Garrick Bar Belfast - on the auspicious date of Friday 13th! Paul Flynn is the Traditional Arts Officer with the Arts Council. He and Jim Rainey explain their vision of a club to showcase the very best in traditional music of all kinds.

Damien O'Kane (banjo) and Jim Rainey (guitar) play us a few tunes:

1. The Cambridge Hornpipe/ The End

2. Mac's Fancy/ Garrett Barry's/ Ship in Full Sail

Pictured is Nicola from the band Gráda who are scheduled to play The Raw Bar at the Garrick Bar, Chichester St, on 17 June.
