Joy Dunlop, wonderful Gaelic singer and dancer

Thursday August 8th, Brodick Hall 7.30 pm

Joy Dunlop will be performing in Brodick with two equally talented musicians, Soren Maclean on guitar and Lorne MacDougal, on pipes and whistles. Joy herself is known throughout the world as a leading performer of folk music, both as singer and dancer. As a solo performer she has won countless prizes, including the coveted Gold Medal at the Royal National Mod in 2010, but she is also heavily involved in Gaelic choral music. A fluent Gaelic speaker, she conducts a choir called Còisir Ceann an Tuirc which won gold at the 2008 National Mod, and her Argyll based female quartet, Dealrach, won Mod Gold at their first-ever outing in 2008.

Joy’s debut album Dùsgadh (Awakening) received a 4 star review in the Scotsman and was album of the month in The Scots Magazine, amongst others. She has performed at numerous international festivals including the Celtic Colours Festival in Nova Scotia, and the Dutch Schotland Festival as well as our own Celtic Connections.

Tickets for this phenomenal event cost a mere £8 (including free programme and tea or coffee) and can be pre-booked from Inspirations at Brodick or online at Arran Events, but they will also be available at the door.
