SSE Renewables Round Ireland, Ireland’s premier offshore Yacht Race, will present The Breen brothers John and Tommy, in concert 18th June, 2022. The Breen brothers will be performing on the Main Stage at Black Castle, Wicklow Town, Co Wicklow Ireland. The show begins at 6:30pm.
Hear their “latest” and other sea related songs and tunes including “The Lonesome Boatman" and their self-penned song, “Calling Me Home”.
The Round Ireland is Ireland’s premier offshore yacht race, and the second longest race in the Royal Ocean Racing Club calendar. The first race took place in 1980 with only sixteen boats. Since then, held biennially, the fleet has grown steadily, attracting a record 64 entrants from all over the world.
On this long awaited follow up to his 2014 album, John Breen's clear, expressive and emotional voice is captivating, making these tracks of eclectic self-penned tunes, original and traditional songs, an enjoyable listen and well worth the wait.
From rhythmic cuts that will get your toes tapping (Rosemary Bailey) to John's engaging vocal nuances on stellar ballads (Ringsend Rose, Old Man), and boosted by several pre-eminent Irish musicians to include: band member Mick Redmond (well crafted mandolin and banjo influences throughout), accordion and whistle accompaniments by Brian Doyle, driving bodhran beats from Peter Walker (check out Maggie), world champion Irish piper Larry Cullen, and the talented tin whistler Tommy Breen (of Boru and Fenian Folk) contributing a fine solo instrumental (Eagan's Polka), this album delivers magical vocal and musical performances.
