' THE  '   Van.              

 

                                                                                                         This is me playing with 'Ragús' live.

 

'Ragús' is a 'Show' which is based on the Aran Islands located off the coast of Galway on the west coast of Ireland. "It is a show of Irish Music, Song and Dance". Though the Line-up of performers often changes ,It has dancers formerly of 'Riverdance' and 'Lord of the Dance' fame. The instruments usually are Accordion Box, Uilleann Pipes, Fiddle, Bodrán, Guitar, and Piano/Keyboard ,or variations thereof. It runs on the Main Island of Inis Mór for the 3 Irish summer months ( June - August ).

The show then travels the world for periods during the rest of the year. This year there will be two troops for the summer as one will perform 5 nights a week in Dublin's famous 'Vicar St.' theatre. That should be easy going from a performer's point of view as the 'Aran' show goes on 3 times a DAY, 7 days a WEEK. ***Its tough being me***.
