A Crookes Folk Club presentation at The Princess Royal, 43 Slinn Street, Sheffield, S10 1NW.*TICKETING & DOOR POLICY*
Whilst we occasionally run ticketed Friday Night Specials, entry for our regular weekly Thursday club nights is on a first-come-first-served basis and unticketed and we do not take advanced seat bookings.
Entry for regular club nights is free, we pay our guests by way of a *CASH* collection. Whilst we understand that some simply haven't the means to make a contribution and absolutely DO NOT wish to exclude them, we expect those who can to make as generous a donation as they are able in recognition of our guest's work.
*STIOFÁN Ó TREABHAIR
Raised on the outskirts of Glasgow with roots in the West of Ireland, Stiofán Ó Treabhair - “Stefawn O’Trower” - is a fusion vocalist, guitarist and bouzoukist reinterpreting Celtic folk traditions.
Having studied with fingerstyle master Tony McManus in recent years, his fluid guitar arrangements are imbued with dynamics & flourishes drawn from the wells of Paul Brady, Dick Gaughan and Dougie MacLean. The honesty and intimacy of his distinctive tenor has drawn comparisons to shades of Jeff Buckley and Mike Scott. His indebtedness to Irish bouzouki pioneers Alec Finn and Andy Irvine is hard to miss.
Emerging from the fertile Yorkshire folk scene that has launched the careers of Chris Brain, Owen Spafford and Katie Spencer, his debut single with acclaimed producers & engineers Tom Orrell and Tim Hay - an arrangement of the W. B. Yeats ballad ‘The Song of Wandering Aengus’ - was released this summer. It has been broadcast on radio across the UK, Europe & North America and received acclaim from BBC Radio 3's Night Tracks hosts Sara Mohr-Pietsch and Hannah Peel amongst others.
“Ethereal” - BBC Radio Ulster
“It all adds up to a track that feels lived-in, even on first listen” - Beach House
“Ó Treabhair enthralls in pairing Yeats’ inimitable lyrical writing with a folk-forward production that injects a similar sort of gorgeousness” - Obscure Sound
“A voice that will make you catch your breath” - BBC Radio 3
“An absolute guitar wizard” - Tradfolk
