The Boston Folk & Traditional Singers Club will have a guest performer on TUESDAY June 20. We're changing our usual Wednesday singers session to TUESDAY that week, to accomodate Tim Dennehy who is teaching at Boston College's Gaelic Roots Festival. He's teaching Sean-Nos & English ballad singing there. All Gaelic Roots classes & concerts are sold out, so this will be your only chance to hear Tim.

We meet at Paddy Burke's, 3rd floor, 132 Portland St. Boston, by North Station / Fleet Center. Plenty of on street parking.

We'll have a bartender on the 3rd floor that night, so we'll probably actually start at 9:00pm with some floor singing. Then Tim will do two 30 - 45 minute sets, with more floor singing & an intermission inbetween the sets. Suggested donation is $7 for non-members, $1 for the singers club members.

Tim Dennehyis a well know traditional singer & songwriter from County Kerry, Ireland. Both his parents sang, & were inheritors of a huge store of songs & stories in the Irish language. Tim founded the Goilin Traditional Singers Club in Dublin, in 1979, & the Clare Festival of Traditional Singing in 1990. He is a regular performer at countless singers sessions, workshops, & concerts througout Ireland & abroad. He has 2 weekly shows on Clare FM radio, including traditional & contemporary Irish music, song, & poetry.

Tim's most well known song is "Always Keep in Touch". He also wrote a tune to the longer version of "The Tinkerman's Daughter" poem (not the shorter version popularized by Niamh Parsons.)

He has 3 CD's: "A Thimble full of Songs"(1989), "A Winter's Tale" (1993), & "A Farewell to Milltown Malbay" (1997)

It should be a really great night! Any questions, you can send me a message through the Mudcat, email me at JudyPredmore@webtv.net, or call me at (781) 891 - 0457 Also the singers club has a web site at http://people.ne.mediaone.net/reynoldsb/singers.htm
