Event Details

www.barruletrio.com Barrule is bringing the unique sound of traditional Manx music from the Isle of Man across the Atlantic. While sharing common ground with its Celtic cousins, Manx music has retained its own particular sound evoking the natural beauty of the island and the lives of its inhabitants. The award-winning trio perform a diverse collection of material: from rousing marches, jigs and reels to sorrowful slow airs and beautiful songs of unrequited love and the toils of island life sung in English and the Manx Gaelic language, not often heard in the States. Jamie Smith (accordion), Tomas Callister (fiddle), and Adam Rhodes (bouzouki) are called “Players of conviction and passion” –The Scotsman. The free series is produced and hosted by the Folklife Center at Crandall Public Library in the community room downstairs off the Library’s Glen Street entrance, and made possible with funds from the Friends of Crandall Public Library, and the New York State Council on the Arts –Folk Arts Program with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the NYS Legislature.
