Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre are thrilled to present 7 piece band Basork, with duo Duozouk and special guest Lucia McGinnis on Friday 25th March, 8pm.
Basork is a fusion group whose compositions are influenced by Irish, European and Middle Eastern music. Brass, Strings and Woodwind combine in a unique melting pot of sound. Basrok will be joined by supporting act Duozouk made up of bouzouki players Nikos Petsakos (Greece) and Martin Coyle (Ireland) who explore the journey of the bouzouki from early 1900's Greece, across Europe and it's entry into Ireland. Rebetiko, traditional arrangements from various European countries as well as modern compositions presented on Greek Tri-chordo, Irish four course and Baglama. Both acts are delighted to be joined on stage by county Derry harp performer Lucia McGinnis who has been a long-term collaborator with Basork over the past five years. Lucia has been a performer and teacher for the past 20 years and has performed with The Chieftains and studied Irish music at the University of Limerick.
This is sure to be a wonderful evening of world music with amazing musicians so don’t miss it!
We are looking forward to welcoming you back to Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre for music events and have some measures in place to keep you safe during your visit which you can find here.
Seating will be cabaret style.
