--------------
Ger is no stranger to the listening folk of West Cork at Levis’s, a multi-instrumentalist and a stalwart of the folkroots singer-songwriter scene for many years. He has just released his 10th album ,this time it’s a collection of ‘Songs From Freeman’s Ballyvourney Collection’ all in Irish which is enjoying a great welcome from fans of traditional singing and newby listeners alike.
He is joined by special guests vocal collective ‘The Ferns’ . The West Cork vocal quintet share a love of close harmony singing. Together Mary Callaghan, Tess Leak, Eithne O’Mahony, Simone O’Rourke and Susan McManamon explore the joy of great folk, traditional, contemporary and original songs using a capella harmonies.
Ger and The Ferns came together during the Summer in a choral project on Sherkin Island where Susan had arranged a good share of Ger’s songs for harmonic collectivism. They also took to the ‘stage’ recently on Top of The Rock in Drimoleague to a very warm community singing welcome.
Following a natural progression of musical collaboration the two entities are coming together for what promises to be a great night celebrating the uniting power of song. With songs like ‘The Lark of Mayfield’, ‘My Love’ and ‘The Curra Road’ it promises to be lovely. Book early and don’t miss out!
