Holy Trinity Parish Hall
The Celtic Music Association is
proud to present bohola in concert March 8, 2003, 8:00 PM, at Holy
Trinity Parish Hall located at 2926 Beaver Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa. The Celtic
Music Association has been proudly sponsoring and promoting Celtic music and
cultural events in Des Moines for the past eleven years.
Irish music’s accordion virtuoso Jimmy Keane along with fiddler extraordinaire Sean Cleland and the remarkable dordan player and singer Pat Broaders comprise bohola, Irish music’s newest “supergroup” as penned by The Irish Herald. bohola plays a driving, muscular and yet very emotive style of Irish music with deep roots in the ‘pure drop’ tradition, which has been forged with the raw and gritty urbanized musical vernacular of the Irish-American experience. In concert, bohola plays tunes that range from hundred-year-old harp pieces, reels, jigs, slides, polkas and barndances to newly composed pieces in the traditional idiom. The songs run the gamut from the ancient melodies of Ireland, to songs brought to North America by immigrants, and to newly composed songs from here and abroad. All played with a freshness and subtlety of approach that is unique in Irish music today.
"… bohola is an acoustic power trio for the new century, a group whose instrumental virtuosity, strong vocals and stunning arrangements place them at the leading edge of today's traditional music scene." The Irish Voice
