Sunday 31st May
Alan Burke + Dominic Dunn
CANCELLED
Alan is the former guitarist & bodhran player from Irish band Afterhours, indeed he played with them for over 10 years. Alan is a well respected musician amongst his contemporaries. He has a unique voice which is full of power, sensitivity – as is his guitar playing. Alan has an almost inexhaustible repertoire of songs including traditional, Gaelic and contemporary numbers. Alan started his singing career fronting the Irish band Afterhours with whom he released three recordings, all of which were widely received and toured extensively throughout Europe, Canada and America.
On the demise of that group Alan began a new venture with the release of his first solo CD “On the Other Hand” 1998. This was followed in 2000 by his second solo recording “Tip of the Tongue”. Both these recordings received high praise and his subsequent touring brought him everywhere from Bahrain to Belfast to Croatia to Cardiff…and on…..
His voice has been described as “Full of power, sensitivity and clarity”. His guitar playing, being influenced by his earlier incarnation as a session drummer/percussionist is characterized by strong driving rhythms alongside a more gentle and sympathetic approach to the quieter side of his repertoire.
