Martin Hayes: live at KOKO
KOKO, NW1 7JE , [Venue Details]Legendary Irish fiddler Martin Hayes celebrates an early St Patrick’s Day with a one-off UK date in London alongside The Common Ground Ensemble.
Martin Hayes is regarded as one of the most significant talents to emerge in the world of Irish traditional music, having founded the seminal Irish-American supergroup The Gloaming. The concept of Common Ground Ensemble, his latest project, emerged gradually in recent years while producing and curating concerts for various festivals, often bringing together fresh collaborations and forming special ensembles for these events.
Martin aimed to create an ensemble of musicians from different backgrounds who also have connections to Irish music – the common ground of their name. The line-up to compliment Martin on fiddle includes Cormac McCarthy (piano, ‘Cottage Evolution’), Kate Ellis (cello, Artistic Director of Crash Ensemble), Kyle Sanna (guitar, a collaborator with Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile) and Brian Donnellan (bouzouki / harmonium / concertina, and, like Hayes, an alumnus of The Tulla Céilí Band).
Collectively they possess a wealth of talent spanning the worlds of traditional Irish music, cutting edge contemporary classical, jazz improvisation and experimental music.
