Tony McManus
Acoustic Guitar Magazine sums it up nicely: “Few guitarists can present Celtic music with the gusto and nuance they possess when played on fiddles or bagpipes. Tony McManus is one of those few.” In little over 10 years as a professional musician, he has come to be recognized throughout the world as the leading guitarist in Celtic Music. In Tony’s hands the complex ornamentation normally associated with fiddles and pipes are accurately transferred to guitar in a way that preserves the integrity and emotional impact of the music.
McManus will also be performing in Kernville (Monday, Dec 5) and Rosemond (Tuesday, Dec 6). Contact the Arts Council for venue information.

Patrick Ball
Launching the 2012 House Concert Series will be Patrick Ball, one of the premier Celtic harp players in the world and a captivating spoken word artist. In playing the ancient, legendary brass-strung harp of Ireland with its crystalline, bell-like voice, and in performing marvelous tales of wit and enchantment, he not only brings new life to two cherished traditions, but blends them in concert to create “a richly theatrical and hauntingly beautiful performance.”
