Dervish concert performances of traditional Irish music are a myriad of tones and moods ranging from high energy tunes, played with fluidity and intuitiveness, to beautifully measured songs, from charming lyrics of life and love, to inspiring melodies that lift the audiences from their seats. Dervish is composed of the hauntingly charismatic vocals of Cathy Jordan, who brings her stories to the songs and her interaction with the audience draws people into the music in a way very few performers can, and the dazzling virtuosity of award-winning instrumentalists like Liam Kelly on flute/whistles, Shane Mitchell on accordion, Brian McDonagh on mandolin and Michael Holmes on bouzouki. Special guest on this tour is legendary Irish fiddle player, Kevin Burke, recipient of the National Heritage Fellowship, whose music is rooted, also, in the Sligo tradition. Dervish has toured throughout every corner of the globe from the Great Wall of China to packed auditoriums in the Holy Land to “Rock in Rio” in front of 240,000 people. Dervish is one of the most sought after Irish acts internationally.
