15th Irish Music festival
15th - 18th March 2012
The Irish Music Festival is being held to
celebrate the most popular and the well known Irish National
Day - "St. Patrick´s Day". It is celebrated in many ways - from
festive marches, Irish music and Dance to dressing in green as well
as colouring everything and anything including beer to green
The Festival starts on the 15th March in Caffrey's Irish Bar,
Staromestské nám.10. and James Joyce The Irish Pub, U Obecního dvora 4.
We would like to introduce - Celtic Whisper (Limerick) - a flashback to
the ballad days with your favourites for the 10th year - you can't resist
them so we just must bring them back.
This year we bring a new twist to our Festival and are
proud to introduce Munster Rugby Supporters Choir.The MRSC was founded in 2008 in Munster,
a province of Ireland renowned for its sporting heritage. It comprises 50 members from all over
the province & first performed at the official opening of Thomond Park, the true home of Irish
Rugby, before Munsters game against the New Zealand All Blacks.
Since then the choir has performed before most of Munsters major games. They have appeared on Ireland's most popular television show, the Late Late Show, on several radio shows & they performed for the opening ceremony of the Special Olympic Games.
In Prague they will delight the audience with many famous Irish Songs old & new under the musical
direction of Anita Mahon.
Dave Morrissey & The Studio 65 - Dave Morrissey is fast becoming a well known singer/songwriter
on the Irish music scene since releasing his debut album 'Bring Out The Light'
and following singles 'Butterfly' and 'Red Moon'. Having toured Ireland and the
Uk several times now, Dave is gathering a steady fanbase and his live performances
have truely set him aside from most other acoustic acts because of his crafted
stage presence and relationship with every audience no matter what size.
Now comes the next level with his newly formed band 'Studio 65'
who are getting set to tour in 2012 for the festival season and beyond.
A six piece outfit that is set to light up stages all over Europe, the line
up consists of Dave Morrissey,Maria O'Regan,Frank McNally,Alan Ryan,Adrian
Robinson and Omar Mahfoud. This band is the brainchild of Dave's and was
formed strategically with the right people to blend his songs together from
acoustic to the full large stage sound for bigger venues. Catch 'Dave Morrissey
and Studio 65' live very soon in a town near you and watch this space for a
massive 2012! www.davemorrisseymusic.com
