1. JRM CONCERT
    JRM has knocking the house down, looking for train stations, and cutting a Celtic groove for almost 20 years.

    The group's full-house repertoire includes tunes not only from the Emerald Isle, but from Scotland, Wales and salty Brittany.

    Far from being hard-core, shirt-and-tie tradonauts, the band steers its own musical satalite through contemporary arrangements derived from phonic galaxies far and near - whether rock, reggae, and reel.

    JRM locates themselves in the wide stream of the World Music: a big band with a big meta-celtic sound. JRM: grooving on your planet, soon.


    Time: 60 to 90 minutes.
    Technical conditions: [rider]



Concert variants:

1a. Open-air concert

3. EACHTRA

CELTIC GROOVE, DANCE, IMAGE AND WORD - STAGE PRFRORMANCE
    A music and dance multimedia spectacle created together with an Irish Dance Group Celtica combines elements of the cultures of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany, to thrill, delight; and invite and bring its audience to travel with the artists (eachtra [pronunciation: į:htra] means journey in Irish Gaelic).

    High-stepping and tap-dancing are choreographed to interweave with land- and seascapes from the western isles. While verse recitation from the bardic traditions of the Gaelic and Breton worlds alternate with rolling melodies on flute, fiddle, accordion, saxophone, guitars and percussion.

    Eachtra: a unique live multimedia experience is a slice of geogpraphy, a narrative in words, image, music and motion, a journey in time and space which lends itself to staging in theatres, cultural centres or outdoor festivals.

    Director: Diarmuid Johnson - musician, poet, writer and translator of Irsih, Welsh and Breton literaure

    Programme time: 100 minutes
    2 stages: 55 and 45 minutes plus break of 20 minutes
    Technical conditions: [rider]
