Gan Bua
by Laura Masters
Sunday (July 15) at 7pm at the Buffalo Irish Center promises an energetic performance by Chicago based quintet Gan Bua. The group is made up entirely of award-winning musicians, and is produced by Irish fiddle virtuoso Dennis Cahill. Jackie Moran, percussionist and bodhrán player (a traditional Celtic hand held drum), is a Fleadh Cheoil champion, along with fiddler Chris Bain. Both are former members of Celtic rock band the Drovers. Gan Bua has performed at Boston’s Irish Connections Festival, the Milwaukee Irish Festival, Cleveland’s Irish Cultural Festival, Celtic Fest Chicago, Erin Feis and others. The newly released CD Gan Bua-Live at Martyr’s is free of gimmicks, showcasing only the band’s raw talent. This is a great opportunity to see one of the most talented American bands in the Celtic tradition
