Dervish

Celebrate "Fake Paddy's Day" with magical music from Ireland!

7 and 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Mar. 11
The Wareham Opera House

The hauntingly charismatic vocals of Cathy Jordan and the dazzling virtuosity of award-winning instrumentalists Tom Morrow on fiddle, Liam Kelly on flute, and Shane Mitchell on accordion, have propelled Dervish into one of the most in-demand Celtic ensembles in the world. With its foundation in legendary pub sessions, its current high-energy style is the result of years of international touring.

The solid rhythm playing of Brian McDonagh and Michael Holmes drives the band, whose concert performances are a myriad of tones and moods ranging from high energy tunes, played with fluidity and intuitiveness, to beautifully measured songs; from charming lyrics of life and love, to inspiring melodies that lift audiences from their seats.
