AUSTRALIA / NEW ZEALAND
Arguably the worlds greatest Irish fiddle virtuoso Martin Hayes and American guitarist Dennis Cahill possess a rare musical kinship, ranking them among the most memorable musical partnerships of our era - and they are coming back to Australia in February and March.
Together they have garnered international renown for taking traditional music to the very edge of the genre, holding listeners spellbound with their slow-building, fiery performances. The duo opens the doors of traditional Irish music and releases its pure, distilled beauty while incorporating sensibilities from the worlds of classical, blues and jazz.The musical rapport between Hayes and Cahill is so strong that it is often said they appear to be playing one instrument, working on a seemingly telepathic level.
