- **Event Description**: Ciaran Dorris- Singer/Songwriter - An Evening of Songs and Stories

Not only an acclaimed singer-songwriter, but also a fine interpreter of song, Ciaran Dorris moved to Glasgow from his native Belfast in 1988, after several years carving out a name for himself on the Ulster folk scene, including a support slot to Eric Bogle at the Belfast Folk Festival.

Success in Scotland soon followed when Ciaran began working with American fiddler Kate Kramer in 1992, a relationship which spawned the band Arran Bede whose album 'The Gossamer Mansion' was released on the KRL label in 1994. His time with Arran Bede earned Ciaran many plaudits from the likes of Billy Connolly, The Herald's Rob Adams and the Glasgow Evening Times. Also during this period, he was a regional finalist in the TDK International Songwriting Competition.

Since Arran Bede broke up in 1995, Ciaran has spent many years doing concerts throughout the British Isles for the charity Music In Hospitals and Care, and he also toured extensively and recorded with singer Heather Innes. Their album 'Waiting For The Calm' (2004) was described by Irish Music magazine as 'An aural feast...one of the most invigorating collections of folk songs issued this year'.

Ciaran's debut solo album of mostly self-penned material, 'Chasing Dreams Down A Dirt Road' (2007), was hailed as 'a fine, literate collection' by Sarah McQuaid in the Irish Evening Herald. His latest album, 'Home', was released in September 2010 on the Greentrax Record Label to much worldwide critical acclaim and airplay.

Ciaran also presented a highly popular radio show, 'The Sunday Session', on Celtic Music Radio for six years. CMR broadcasts across Glasgow and is also online at www.celticmusicradio.net
