The Sofa Sessions presents TWO DIVAS AND A PIANO
Carmel McCreagh - vocals
Flo Mc Sweeney - vocals
Fiachra Trench - piano
9pm / No Cover Charge
The Sofa Sessions is delighted to welcome back to Kilkenny this hugely entertaining show from three grandees of Irish music. Here’s what Sofa Sessions curator and Irish Times jazz critic Cormac Larkin said about Two Divas and a Piano:
“It sounds simple — two singers, one pianist and a book of great songs, but what Flo McSweeney, Carmel McCreagh and Fiachra Trench are doing takes a lot of talent, experience and sheer guts. The winning and admirably eclectic programme ranges from Gershwin and Cole Porter to Joni Mitchell and Tom Waits, and each song is ‘owned’ by the vocalists and turned into something authentic and emotional. Behind them, Trench’s sparse accompaniments are what you would expect of an arranger who has written for Phil Lynott, Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello and many others, and who provided the string arrangement for The Pogues’ classic “Fairytale of New York”.
