The Bonk & Junior Brother present 'Bolg'

Sunday, 20 February 2022, 7.00pm

Ronan Kealy (Junior Brother) and Phil Christie (The Bonk) perform a new experimental audio work on Sunday 20th February.

The artists delved into the world of medieval Irish mythology as part of a recent musical residency at the Regional Cultural Centre in Donegal, collaborating on an exploration of music for two voices, guitars and percussion using stories about a mythohistorical group of people, the Fir Bolg, as their inspiration.

They developed an imagined traditional folk music, intertwining their voices to mimic the sounds of duophonic singing, a technique where one individual produces two strands of melody simultaneously.
