Irish Routes

Join Irish singer-songwriter and classically trained finger-style guitarist, Gus Glynn, in a celebration of Irish folk music with a difference. Expect a heady night of rousing sing-along favourites and bawdy drinking songs alongside heartfelt ballads and original finger-style guitar arrangements of choice traditional Irish tunes. Experience Irish folk scene favourites popularised by The Dubliners, The Chieftains and Van Morrison, Mary Black, Planxty, Sinead O’Connor, Shane McGowan and many many more. From the fields of Athenry and The Wild Rover to obscure treasures of the genre, Gus explains how adopted songs found their routes to Ireland and how Irish songs have travelled the world in an inclusive tradition that has helped to establish happy and healing relationships through shared enjoyment of folk culture, music and song. A selection of new original songs, some tall tales and humorous anecdotes completes the mix in this unique new show from a proven rounded performer. &t=3s
