Studio Sessions @ Glór
The Studio Sessions at glór continue this Spring curated by music broadcaster Paula Carroll. The theme is inspiration, mentorship and the acquiring of tradition. Young up-and-coming traditional musicians have been invited to select another musician who has been an influence on them and to perform a concert together. Accordionist Conor Connolly, from Ardrahan, Co. Galway, who received the TG4 Gradam Ceoil for Young Musician of the Year in 2018 has selected accordion player Charlie Harris, as one of his chief mentors. Charlie is also a past recipient of the TG4 Gradam Ceoil Traditional Musician of the Year award, and is seen as one of the main carriers of that Cooley / South Galway style of accordion playing.
