Patrick Ball : Celtic Harp and Story

The Celtic harp has a broken and troubled thousand-year tradition which Patrick Ball now revives in the 21st century, reviving the ancient art of minstrelsy and story-telling.

Irresistibly drawn to words, to the music of words, to writers who made words sing, to writers from Ireland, Patrick Ball was not surprised to find an affinity for the lyrical, turbulent history of Ireland, a country that thoroughly engaged him. Patrick now lives in County Clare, Ireland with his wife and dog. He continues to tour extensively throughout the United States, Ireland, the United Kingdom and Canada. He is considered one of the premier Celtic harpers and storytellers in the world today. He has recorded nine instrumental and five spoken word albums which have sold well over one-half million copies collectively and earned national awards in both the music and spoken word categories. Along with Celtic Harp and Story, his beguiling blend of music and spoken word concerts, Patrick has also written and currently performs three solo musical theater pieces: Turlough O’Carolan’s Farewell to Music, The Fine Beauty of the Island and Come Dance with Me in Ireland: A Pilgrimage to Yeats County.
