SUMMARY:Barleyshakes Live On Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Barleyshakes duo are one of the best Irish folk music acts on the tour circuit both here and in Australia. They have an energy and authenticity that is contagious. Their live shows are full of lively dance jigs\, reels and polkas\, traditional and award winning original songs\, and humorous storytelling.\nThis is the final show of a two month tour of NZ\, which saw them perform to packed venues at the Auckland folk festival\, travelling from Northland to Invercargill and selling out some of those shows while they were at it. This gig is not to be missed and numbers are limited so get in quick.The Barleyshakes: A Celtic Journey\n“Get ready for an extraordinary journey that will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the power and beauty of Celtic music.”\nMeet the Barleyshakes\nAlan & Kristin Kelly are two founding members of the well-known Irish powerhouse band\, the Barleyshakes. Together\, they bring the upbeat sounds of Ireland to life with sweet and vibrant fiddle and spirited guitar. As recipients of the Queensland Music Award for World Music\, the Barleyshakes have gained international recognition. Notably\, Alan Kelly recorded as a bodhrán soloist on the Lord of the Rings soundtrack\, showcasing his exceptional talent.\nUpcoming New Zealand Tour\nFresh from their performances at the Woodford Folk Festival in Australia\, the Barleyshakes are set to tour New Zealand from January to March 2025. This tour includes a special performance at the Auckland Folk Festival. With their dynamic presence\, the Shakes will captivate audiences with a blend of traditional and contemporary Celtic music.\nA Musical Journey\nHaving performed at concert halls\, clubs\, and festivals in over 20 countries\, the Barleyshakes invite you on a journey through Ireland’s rich musical history. Their repertoire spans from Ireland’s happier pre-famine days to songs of emigration\, desperation\, resilience\, and struggle. Audiences can expect to have their spirits lifted by haunting compositions and humorous tales\, as well as sprightly polkas\, jigs\, and reels.\nModern Celtic Fusion\nIn addition to traditional Irish tunes\, the Barleyshakes’ live performances feature a modern Irish movement with dance grooves that honour the tradition of Irish music. Alan Kelly\, hailing from Dublin\, brings an X factor to the stage with his heartfelt singing and guitar playing. Kristin Kelly adds a rich warmth with her fiddle\, weaving between vibrant speed and smooth\, sweet tones with skilled sensitivity.\nDiverse Influences\nThe Barleyshakes’ music also includes Scottish\, Canadian\, and Eastern European compositions\, alongside original and traditional Irish tunes and songs. Their lifelong passion and skill ensure that every performance is an emotional experience that will make you laugh\, cry\, sing\, and dance.\nFor tour dates and ticketing links\, visit http://www.barleyshakes.com. \n
