Traditional harpist plays in Lichfield  Lichfield
Arts folk season continues at the Lichfield Guildhall on February 8 with
a concert from award-winning Irish harpist Marie Ni Chathasaigh and guitarist
Chris Newman.
They have played together all over the world. Marie Ni Chathasaigh won
the Traditional Musician-of-the-Year award in 2001 while Chris Newman’s
style as a guitarist and an accompanist has won him rave reviews from
fellow musicians and traditional fans.
They promise a night to remember with their addictive and stylish cocktail
of powerhouse Irish dance-music, gorgeous airs, evocative old songs and
striking new compositions — with shots of hot jazz and bluegrass
thrown in on a night not to be missed.
Lichfield Arts Director Brian Pretty said: “Our Irish gigs are always
popular. Both Marie and Chris are well known and regarded within their
fields and this will be a very special concert within the four walls of
the Guildhall.”
The Lichfield Guildhall concert starts at 8.30pm. Tickets cost £12,
£11 for concessions, £10 for members and £6 for students.
