In Irish music, there are three elements: goltrai, so sad it brings tears; geantri, so lively it makes you want to dance; suantra, so soothing you want to sleep. At a Dervish concert, you experience all three and it leaves you exhilarated. From the Great Wall of China, to packed auditoriums in the Holy Land, to a groundbreaking performance at the famous Rock In Riomusic festival, Dervish has shared traditional Irish music with people around the world. Having performed with such icons as James Brown, Oasis, Sting, REM, Beck and many more, their concerts are a myriad of tones and moods ranging from high-energy tunes played with intuitive fluidity, to beautifully measured songs of life and love, to inspiring melodies that lift audiences from their seats — all drawn together by vocalist Cathy Jordan’s masterful stage presence. Dervish’s musical genius and distinct instrumental sound has ensured their place as a leading force in world-roots music today. Come and be seduced by the passion and virtuosity of Irish music at its best.
