O’OCONNOR & O'SULLIVAN
DIRECT FROM IRELAND FOR TWO NIGHTS ONLY
APRIL 14-15th 20:30
PAT O’OCONNOR & EOGHAN O'SULLIVAN
Fiddle player, PAT O’OCONNOR, comes from Ennis in County Clare and has been playing music all his life. As a child he studied Piano-accordion, banjo, mandolin, and bouzouki, before finally settling on the fiddle as his weapon of choice. Pat settled in Feakle several years ago and soon established the annual Feakle Music Festival.
He has two acclaimed solo CDs "The Green Mountain" and "The Humours of Derrybeha".
PAT O'CONNOR: THE GREEN MOUNTAIN
Pat O'Connor’s music has the moderate pace and easy flow associated with County Clare. Home-grown, "pure drop" traditional music.
EOGHAN O'SULLIVAN has been playing flute & accordion since he was six, and is now regarded as County Cork’s leading accordionist. He performs and holds workshops at the Feakle Music Festival and the Castle Island Festival in County Kerry. He has three CDs, one with Fiddle player Jerry Harrington titled "Sceal Eile" and two with "The Smokey Chimney".
"The Smoky Chimney"
The understanding between Gerry and Eoghan has developed to the point where it's hard to tell the box from the fiddle. The style is gentle, understated, relaxed, and quietly brilliant. This album is beyond reproach with subtle textures, brilliant solos and stomping ensemble pieces. Well done, lads.

Dale Russ RETURNS! Superb Irish Fiddle Live, March 24
We are pleased to announce that the Seattle’s Best, Dale Russ, is coming back to the pub for an unprecendented third show in a month. The man just can't get enough of the groovy audience and ambiance at TIP. He will be ably supported by the ever lovely JAY, and GENTA of Butterdogs fame.
For those of you who haven’t had the chance to see Dale play, take it from us it is pleasure you shouldn’t deny yourself. But don’t take our word for it take a look at the reviews.
GARDEN OF BUTTERFLIES is an awesomely good recording of Irish traditional music from a San Francisco trio who go by the quirky name of Jody's Heaven. Heavenly indeed. The sound created by Dale Russ's fiddle, Jack Gilder's concertina and flute and Junji Shirota's guitar and bouzouki is angelically beautiful. Garden of Butterflies is also solidly and tastefully traditional. No bass and drums, no "new age" noodling, no speed-burning showoffery -- just honest Irish music the way it ought to be played.
-Don Meade, Irish Voice
Russ has a fine ear for the details of a tune and his interplay with the concertina and flute of Jack Gilder is a delight to hear. Gilder and Russ trade the melodic duties often within the medleys so the overall sound never gets monotonous. Dale Russ, Jack Gilder are fine musicians, but when they play together they sometimes play more than music, they play magic.
- Michael Simmons, Fiddler Magazine
No theatrics, just solid, clean fiddle embellishments, warm tone and listenable, danceable tempos.
- Lou Alcorn, Victory Music Review
...plays with precision, fluidity and grace...Is one with the music he creates.
- Lisa Fusch, Victory Music Review
Mr. Russ is well-known as the shining jewel of Northwest fiddle players.
- Jams O'Donnell, Victory Music Review
...Dale is one of the most important players in America today.
- Dan Collins, Shanachie Records
Dale Russ is at the top of his field.
- Peter McCracken , Folk Arts Director, CENTRUM
