ANGELINA CARBERRY & MARTIN QUINN
all the way
from County Galway Thur., July 10, 2008; 7:30 PM
Angelina Carberry
born in Manchester in the late 70's into a County Longford family
steeped in traditional music, it was not long before Angelinas'
interest and keen ear for the music quickly developed. Starting on the
tin whistle she soon moved on to the banjo, following in the footsteps
of her father Peter and her grandfather Kevin. Angelina has since
developed a highly personal style with an exciting rhythm that
captivates anyone who is lucky enough to hear it. In 1998 she moved to
Galway and very quickly established herself on the local music scene.
Soon after, she recorded a duet album with her father Peter
on accordion. She has since gone on to record a duet CD with her
husband Martin, and a solo offering. Her sound is at times dark and
earthy ... measured, unstoppable, and deadly accurate.
Martin Quinn
comes from a family of musicians and tellers of traditional stories,
with his roots in County Armagh. At an early age Martin showed an
interest in traditional music and especially that of the accordion. He
took up the instrument in 1981 and soon developed a highly refined
style. He is regarded as one of Ireland's finest exponent's of the
button-box. In 1996 Martin received his diploma from the Irish
Department of Education and Comhaltas Ceoltir Eireann for teaching
the 2 row button accordion. He began his professional career as a
musician in 1994. His left hand harmonics complement Angelina's playing
perfectly.
