13th Irish Music festival
13th - 20th March 2010

The Caffrey's 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 13th 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 8th year - you can't resist them so we just must bring them back.

Dave Morrissey & Friends (Kildare), Dave Morrissey is a talented artist who combines excellent melodies, biting lyrics, and understated production to illustrate his tales of life, love and loss. He has the hallmark of an experienced musician at ease with his craft and style with the ability to command an audience, something other entertainers rarely achieve.

But this would be of little consequence were it not for the strength of his material. In fact every one of his finely crafted songs amply displays his prodigious musical and lyrical talent at work. He is a wonderfully versatile vocalist and a colourful character and it is each of these vital strengths that make his music work and work brilliantly. He generates a personalised power surge; he has an abundance of obvious enthusiasm, rasping vocals and a real penchant for harmonic hummable material. He hits our hearts with his arrangements, which add a whole new dimension to the music. And this is great music - raw, alive, hot and cooking, it's blessed with a kind of nagging hook that will stay with you for days on end. Tempo wise there's something for everyone here, chest beating riffs, mid-paced stompers sculpted from acoustic wood shavings and the classically flavoured tear-jecker with immaculately crafted melodies.

Tó go bog é - from Co.Cavan, near the Northern Irish border, they are leading performers of traditional Irish Dance music but are also expert at mixing this music with old Irish singalong favourites. Five excellent musicians featuring banjo, pipes, tin whistle, guitar and bodhrán. Bardoí (Prague) - Prague's well established traditional Irish Music Group will join us in our St.Patrick's celebration 2010.

Come along and enjoy the "craic"!

Happy St. Patrick's Day !!
