French Hotel at 8 pm. This will be a very special night. What an honour it is to have Matt, a County
Roscommon naive and member of The Chieftains, appearing with fellow Chieftain Seán Keane and Arty McGlynn, a much sought after accompanist. Matt was born in Ballaghaderreen, County Roscommon. He began playing the flute at age 8 and by the age of 18, he had won the All-Ireland Flute Championship and had a string of successes in National Fleadh Cheoil and Oireachtas. He moved to Dublin in the mid 1960’s where he started playing in the music scene and became acquainted with Paddy Moloney. He was invited to join The Chieftains in 1979. During the burgeoning folk scene of the 1970’s, Matt was a founding member of the famous folk group, The Bothy Band. After the Bothy Band, Matt appeared briefly with the reformed group, Planxty. Matt has released several highly acclaimed solo albums and has worked with other accomplished musicians. He has
teamed up with Paul Brady, Tommy Peoples, Micheál Ó Súilleabháin, Dónal Lunny and the Irish Chamber Orchestra among other artists. In addition to playing, Matt owns a pub in Westport, County Mayo, Ireland called Matt Molloy’s, where he has recorded a live session album. Sean Keane is a popular and established performer and is a member of the
well-known musical family from Tuam in County Galway. He is an acclaimed sean-nós singer. Tickets for this very special concert are available from committee members on 086-8546433, 0863793094, 086-3496935 or from Denniston’s in Longford, Hanly’s, Ballymahon or The Percy French Hotel, Strokestown.
