Irish Ceili Band
Performs Traditional Irish Music
A Ceili
(pronounced KAY-lee)
is a "coming
together" of friends, family and neighbors as a diversion from
life's troubles or to
celebrate an event. The Akron Ceili Band will perform the
traditional music of Ireland at the Hudson Library & Historical
Society on Thursday, March 11 at 7:00 p.m. in the Flood Family
Meeting Room.
The Akron
Ceili Band specialize in the traditional tunes of Ireland, often
performed with a mixture of traditional and
non-traditional instruments, which adds a unique and lively sound
that is all their own.
The band is
non-traditional in the
fact that they incorporate bodhrans (Irish drums), guitars, whistles
(known as feadogs in Ireland), mandolins and even
stand-up bass. The infusion of these non-traditional instruments
creates a unique combination when they perform
traditional Irish tunes.
Don your green

at this free program and no
registration is necessary. For more information, please call
