"The Quiet Club ( Mick O'Shea & Danny Mc Carthy with guests Harry Moore,and John Godfrey and Christian Carley) return
again this year with another Christmas Concert. Following on the success of the much talked about "I Am Dreaming Of A Quiet Christmas" event of last year they return on the 19TH Dec to the Glucksman Gallery for a lunchtime concert/event entitled " A Christmas Presence".
It is scheduled to commence at 12.30 and will be structured to allow the audience to come and go at will. As a special thank you to all their loyal supporters over the year admission will be free to this event.
Also due to many requests there will be a special limited edition CD of their Art Trail concert available at the Glucksman. Their first CD will be releases on the Aphasia Label (aphasiarecordings.com) early in the new year. Mick and Danny appear individually on the just released "The Sound We Are Now" (soundwearenow.org).
Formed in Feb.06 they have met with considerable success and have become recognised as one of Ireland's leading sound art improvisation groups and have gathered a large following both at home and abroad. They have toured extensively in Ireland and have appeared in festivals in both Germany and Japan. Most recently at DEAF (Dublin Electronic Arts Festival) Employing a wide range of sound making devices ranging from stones , home made instruments, electronics, amplified textures, oscilloscopes , thermins, field recordings etc.. they continue to push the boundaries of sound making and listening."
Wow Laxie...a Quiet Christmas? No wonder you're going to look for some excitement in stab-city.
