Junior Davey

The name Junior Davey is synonymous with bodhrán and bones playing in traditional Irish music circles and Junior’s longstanding dedication to his art is deeply rooted in a sense of place and a great understanding of the musical legacy he is steeped in and has been surrounded by all his life.  A native of Clooneigh, Gurteen, Junior’s dad Andy was a fiddle player with his own distinctive style but very much reflecting the style of the area of Gurteen and South Sligo. 

This Wednesday afternoon presentation will put the spotlight on the percussive interpretation of the music and tunes and will be a fitting interlude during this year’s summer school, sitting perfectly between the much anticipated Tribute Concert on Monday night honouring Junior Davey’s legacy over many years as tutor and the Thursday evening recital, featuring Junior and his Bodhrán class – always a highlight of the week.
