Dick Hensold & Patsy O’Brien in Concert
April 11 at 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm PDT
Celtic music concert, songs and instrumentals.
Dick Hensold is the leading exponent of Northumbrian smallpiping in N America, and Patsy O’Brien is a singer, songwriter and guitarist from County Cork in Ireland.  Together they play a concert of Celtic music which is both traditional and innovative, focused and eclectic.  The program is half songs and half instrumentals, including a variety of songs from Britain and Ireland, accompanied by guitar and Northumbrian smallpipes (a quiet bagpipe from Northeast England), or various whistles. It also features traditional and historical tunes from Cape Breton Island, Scotland, Ireland and Northumberland. As well as a broad range of styles of Celtic music, this program also features an impressive range of expression, from the jaunty and humorous to soulful, led by Patsy’s warm and multi-colored baritone voice, Dick’s variety of pipes and whistles, and the nimble instrumental virtuosity of both musicians.
(Please note that NONE of the various bagpipes used in this concert are very loud.)
