Treelan Autumn Irish Tour
Treelan Autumn Irish Tour
“Three superb musicians reaching across countries and continents, constructing sonic bridges that aspire towards human sharing. Yet another inspired music experiment in Ireland for the world.”
Míchéal Ó Súilleabháin (Director, Irish World Academy of Music and Dance)
Martin Tourish - Piano Accordion
Altan, Young Musician of the Year 2008 - TG4
Éamonn Cagney - Percussion
“Spine-tingling percussion” - Irish Times
Niwel Tsumbu - Guitar “Exceptional guitarist” - Hot Press
Three of Ireland’s top musicians have combined to form a new, groundbreaking and virtuosic trio, Treelan.
The Trio’s sound extends beyond the boundaries of Irish traditional music, with African, Jazz and World rhythm influences. Éamonn, Martin and Niwel are infused by a musical electricity, energy and passion that makes for an incredible live show.
Treelan was recently featured on RTÉ Radio 1’s Arena, Raidió na Gaeltachta and The Journal of Music in Ireland. Sponsored by the Arts Council Deis award in late 2013, the Trio completed an innovative project wherein their composition process was documented online for a week in a series of video blog shot by videographer Colm Walsh (online here: http://eamonncagneytrio.wordpress.com/video-day-1/).
The public response to Treelan’s online blog and subsequent Irish tour has been outstanding, and they are currently recording a new album of original music to be released in early 2015.
