Once again Deserted Village presents an evening of all acoustic music hosted by the wonderful designist of Georges St. In case you haven't been before, designist (www.designist.ie) isn't a venue. It's a friendly shop hosting the best work of international and Irish product designers and a gig every now and then. It's a BYOB event.
Doors: 18:30

IMOGEN GUNNER TRIO http://www.myspace.com/imogengunnermusic
……Original compositions and soaring vocal harmonies, expertly crafted by this multi-instrumental line-up. Ethereal harp, fiddle and flute take the listener on a journey through musical dreamscapes, to stomping, driving fiddle tunes, underpinned by the timeless beat of a feast of percussion….
IMOGEN GUNNER is a fiddle player and composer. She also sings, plays ukulele and harp. Having run away to tour the world aged 17, with a travelling English folk-rock band, she eventually ended up in Ireland. Imogen's music and compositions have featured on RTÉ (television and radio), BBC Radio, RFI Radio (France),and National Indonesian Radio. Her string arrangements have also featured on two top-ten Irish chart hits. She has performed at major international festivals such as SXSW (Texas), WOMAD, (UK), Cambridge Folk Festival and Hebridean Celtic Festival.
Imogen has been described as "...a sublimely talented and adventurous composer and musician...” John O’ Regan (Irish Music Magazine) and “ An exceptional musician and a superb interpreter of traditional music from these Isles..” Sean McGee (Rock ‘n’ Reel)
Imogen will be joined byCiara Ni Shuilleabhain on Harp, flute & vocals and Brian Fleming on percussion.
SABRE SERIES http://soundcloud.com/desertedvillage/floodplains-by-sabre-series
Songs by Gavin Prior (United Bible Studies, Toymonger) and Suzanne Walsh (ex-Noland Folk, duo with Brian Conniffe), string arrangements by Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh.
Sabre Series originated when Gavin Prior and Suzanne Walsh both found themselves recording in the same isolated cottage in the Tipperary hills.They were surrounded by horses and wilder creatures and nocturnal presences which found their way into Prior’s composition ‘The Shivering’. Sabre Series songs, written by both Prior and Walsh, tend to be concerned with the fleeting moments when the subconscious and external worlds push against and illuminate eachother.
Listeners will hear echoes of folk and torch songs but Prior’s chord choices and Nic Oireachtaigh’s string arrangements keep edging things forward. Gladly at odds with current trends of mumbling vagueness and emotional detatchment, these are living, breathing songs, tremulous and lived in the shadow of the L.H.C !!!
