“The Generational Influence” Featuring Oliver Loughlin (accordion), Breda Shannon (flute/concertina), Aisling Ní Choisdhealbha (fiddle) and special guest Michael O' Brien (accordion)

The significance of “The Generational Influence” underpinned this highly enjoyable performance celebrating the importance of people like Michael O’ Brien to the tradition and music in his area and in the county of Leitrim. Michael is not only a rich source of tunes, he is also a passionate advocate of traditional music who inspires and enthuses all who have had the pleasure of playing in his company, generously sharing, encouraging and influencing so many younger musicians. Hearing Oliver Loughlin, and many others, reference Michael’s influence in his musical development is testament to Michael’s importance to the music in Leitrim over many years. Michael’s deep knowledge of Leitrim music and musicians also makes him an important keeper of stories so fundamental to our understanding of the broader context of how the tradition has survived. Hearing names such as Seamus Horan and Joe Burke recalled ensures that their legacy remains intact.
