MUNDY & THE SEAMUS BEGLEY TRIO
Friday 24 February 2017

The Tuning Fork are proud to welcome two of Ireland’s finest musical exports to Auckland, with a double bill show featuring multi-platinum selling songwriter Mundy and traditional music legend, Seamus Begley with his trio.

Mundy’s long career speaks for itself. A multi- platinum selling artists who has released six studio albums over 20 years, it’s no surprise he’s even performed for Barack Obama in Ireland AND the White House. Equally adept at writing sensitive acoustic songs and upbeat crowd favourites, Mundy is known for writing ridiculously infectious songs that lodge in your cranium like squatters in a vacant house. He’s been known to team up with some pretty unbelievable talent too, including Youth, Pink Floyd, Culture Club, The Verve, The Makers and even Paul McCartney and he made Steve Earle’s song “Galway Girl” into an international hit. He’s a humourist, a raconteur and can stir a crowd into a hearty song along.

Séamus Begley is the quintessential Irish musician - an eager storyteller known for his sharp wit and famous for pumping out tunes. The award winning Kerryman plays with an energy that is alarming, bringing a frisky spontaneity to his box-playing, belting out jigs, slides and polkas with rapid sprays of reckless ornamentation before making a sudden key change into a bitter-sweet air, sung or played on the accordion. He is joined on this tour by one of the world’s finest Irish fiddlers Dezi Donnelly and dynamic guitarist Matt Griffin. These performers bring passion and intensity to the stage combined with an intimacy and warmth that will make you feel part of the performance. This is a celebration of Traditional Irish music and song that you have to experience.
