Máire Ní Chathasaigh and Chris Newman

Celebrated harp and guitar duo bring their virtuoso partnership to Shrewsbury; Máire is one of the most influential and original exponents of the Irish harp and Chris Newman is an extraordinary acoustic guitarist.


Máire Ní Chathasaigh and Chris Newman

Though much of their material has roots in the Irish tradition, their concert performances cast a much wider net, and they move from Irish & Scottish through to jazz, bluegrass, baroque, and a host of other influences.

On top of their stunning musicianship, Máire adds clear and expressive vocals, and Chris has a great line in subtle, witty introductions and chat; but the lasting impression will be of two technically superb musicians and a dazzling live performance.
