Blue Strawberry

Many of us know Conor Mallon from his successful tours of the US with the band Connla. While Connla is still a focus for Conor, the shutdown gave him time to work on a solo project that had been percolating for years. The result was, “Unearthed”, a beautiful album that honors tradition while exploring the potential of the Uilleann pipes. Already a favorite showcasing band, Conor is taking Unearthed on the road.
“Unearthed has a number of meanings to me, Says Conor, in relation to this project; unearthing my own solo adventure with the project, unearthing the many unique sounds of the Uilleann Pipes and using them in combination as a percussive element within my own original compositions. ‘Unearthed’ nods to traditions from the past, cast from deep passion and respect, to push boundaries of innovation and creativity whilst never losing sight of the source. I composed and recorded original contemporary Irish music alongside more common repertoire, and used the authentic and unique sounds of the Irish Uilleann Pipes as programming samples-as percussion and rhythm underneath the melody of the track.”
Conor Mallon, from Keady, Co. Armagh, started his musical career with the Armagh Pipers Club where he attended Uilleann Pipe lessons. He has progressed through ranks to become one of the senior teachers at the club before he began touring full time. He has been taught by many pipers over the years and they include Tiarnan O Duinnchinn and Jarlath Henderson. Conor has been categorized as the one leading pipers in his generation as described by <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ffolking.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExbkhsc2JNVTlLTGh3c054RHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR64GNUBrOfAUDvJN2ecD-XLsGwZ3TP8WVWCPeFlIMBaKQPToXwMU5vm0TnKIQ_aem_zK8o9pFpruNZqR0OEnH3rw&amp;h=AUBjHBe0Zsu6xHtm7qgbrF3HqBZLx9ugjVY6JzCaPLqOUhRFbzrPBqMTZYEFuA8HunZJY6O8NxFyYA2FD6nH_j2pJw_qrgzldAAz6NBiWuPgz6EHJXJLxAmkPowL6LciPbnuFI1BDNF6SrVx&amp;__tn__=q&amp;c%5B0%5D=AUBOqC8YFRz7E521urYn9cbIq23_HiveuLGPRAWv1JVihir4Xwibg2ayPr7_Qs6Dr9TvzSYi5U4rDrJbzGmRcm0TOwU2cEeY9jvbd44SYzU_D-mo07fzVAJ_7cg-FrZifxJN2UHUldyBFzysdRob8iQXepwpInorzcA" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">folking.com</a>, “In the week that we learned of the passing of Liam O’Flynn it was apposite to hear Conor Mallon leading the next generation of Uilleann pipe players.”
Conor was the first recipient of the ACNI/BBC NI Young Traditional Musicians Platform award and subsequently was a guest musician with the Ulster Orchestra and with the award winning Foden’s Brass Band. Conor is a Senior County, Ulster and All-Ireland Champion on Uilleann Pipes in the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann and has won many other awards including the Uilleann Piping Scholarship by the Na Píobairí Uilleann Dublin in 2008 and was the first recipient of the Mark Donnelly Bursary for Uilleann Piping Award in 2010.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/151418/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info

“The most exciting vocal find in Ireland.” -Phil Coulter
George Murphy exploded onto the Irish music scene after his appearances on the RTE Television show “You’re a Star.” Just out of secondary school at age 17, he signed to Sony Ireland and his debut album ‘Dreamed A Dream’ went to No.1 in the Irish charts. Gorge is as gifted a storyteller as he is a singer. As a member of The High Kings, he toured internationally with them for two years, performing lead vocals on on classic ballads like “Raglan Road” and “Sweet Sixteen.” He has toured and collaborated with The Dubliners as a special guest. In 2019, he left The High Kings to front his own band, The Rising Sons. George is a much-in-demand headliner at festivals, and continues to perform in pubs and intimate listening rooms all over Ireland. His performance at Blue Strawberry features Sebastian McLaughlin on Banjo and Mandolin, and is comprised of George’s favorite trad Irish songs, as well as some originals.
Originally from Donegal, Sebastian McLaughlin is now a Long Island–based multi-instrumentalist specializing in Irish traditional music on tenor banjo and mandolin. He draws influence from Americana, bluegrass, folk, punk, rock, and blues. Coming from a musical family, he is related to renowned traditional musicians Martin Tourish and Ciarán Tourish of Altan. Originally rooted in rock and punk guitar, Sebastian discovered Irish music through bands such as The Pogues, The Popes, and the songwriting of Shane MacGowan. Those influences led him to the tenor banjo and helped shape a distinctive musical style that blends authentic Irish trad with the energy and attitude of punk and folk-rock. He has performed throughout the United States, Ireland, Sweden, and Switzerland with bands including Duffy’s Cut, Streams of Whiskey, Dark Streets, East River Crossing, Mickey Finn’s, George Murphy, earning a reputation for energetic live performances and a unique crossover approach to traditional Irish music.
