Dave Flynn is an award-winning Irish composer and musician, praised as ‘a masterful guitarist‘ in Sing Out! Magazine. His imaginative compositions, celebrated in the New York Times for their ‘power and grittiness‘ transcend traditions and borders.

In ‘Celtic Guitar Journey‘ he presents beautiful guitar arrangements of Irish and Scottish traditional music, exploring the musical connections between these, and other, ‘Celtic’ countries.

His programme goes through the history of Celtic music, from an ancient Irish battle march, to baroque-era harp music by Turlough O’Carolan, to 19th century reels and jigs, and then some more modern compositions that he recorded on his acclaimed albums.

The concert also highlights connections between Irish traditional music and other countries, showing how certain types of Irish tune
styles were imported from other countries including Scotland, Poland and Germany. Celtic connections with France, Spain and North America are also explored. Recent studies with a flamenco guitar master in Andalusia bring an exciting new dimension to the show in 2025.

There’s also some new Irish-style tunes composed in New Zealand which represent new kind of traditional Irish-Kiwi music.

What better way to spend St. Patrick's Day than a beautiful Celtic Guitar concert in New Zealand's famous vineyard town, founded by Irishman John Martin!

Kindly supported by Culture Ireland.
