Concert: Áine Minogue Solo Show

Áine Minogue Solo Show

Note from Áine:

At a solo show I play the harp and weave in songs, sometimes in English, but more likely in Gaelic, Welsh or even Latin.  I sprinkle in a few lines of poetry and generally try to create a space and a 'vibe' for people to really chill out. 

When I make albums, they're often based on Celtic fairylore and folklore.  These influences run through the songs and stories.  I've found that people love to know the background to the music.  The goal is to provide that, while still making it fun and creating a nice space. 

I believe in the deep connection between the inner and outer landscape.  Each show reflects my interest in the old Celtic Wheel of the Year.  What's transpiring in nature, at any given moment will weave its way into the evening, along with the Celtic symbolism and tradition that each season represents.  

You will see many of the shows in this 'green room' listed by time of year.

"Áine’s renowned harp playing, her beautiful, nearly ethereal voice, and her oft-times enchanting guests have made this sell-out event the high point of four recent seasons."
HINGHAM JOURNAL

"Áine pushes her art to the edge of her music. She embraces a traditional core and re approaches it, wrapping it in new and exciting clothing. She's a terrific musician, with an uncanny ability to connect with her audience."
BRIAN O'DONOVAN
