Féile Oslo - Concert with Kevin Burke

The legendary Irish fiddle player Kevin Burke is visiting Norway for the first time!

We  are so proud to offer you this solo concert with one of the great  masters of the Irish tradition. Join us in a celebration of Irish fiddle  music.

One  of the greatest fiddlers of this or any generation, Kevin Burke is  known far and wide, a legend in traditional Irish music. His bow has  driven the Bothy Band, Patrick Street, Open House and Celtic Fiddle  Festival. He was awarded a National Heritage Fellowship in the US, and  in Ireland the prestigious Gradam Ceoil Award. His solo performances of  flawless unaccompanied fiddle, delivered with humorous stories of the  tunes and their makers, are an absolute delight. Kevin’s easy and  welcoming manner leaves the audience feeling like privileged guests, and  with a richer understanding of this great tradition. In whatever  context, be it guesting with Dervish or Lunasa, with Christy Moore, in a  band, or solo, Kevin Burke’s fiddle is a dynamic melodic force, the  voice of the master.
