Clé Club with Peter Browne
Born in Dublin, Peter Browne started playing traditional music at age six, first on tin whistle and concert flute, and from age of nine the uilleann pipes. He was encouraged by three of the great names in piping: Leo Rowsome, Willie Clancy and Séamus Ennis.
In the 1970s he was twice winner of the Oireachtas uilleann piping competition and performed for a time with The Bothy Band. He recorded two albums in the 1980s with Philip King and played as orchestral soloist in performances of The Brendan Voyage by Shaun Davey.
He has hosted several music programmes on radio – notably The Rolling Wave on RTÉ Radio One – teaches at events and festivals and has been collecting old traditional recordings for many years. Peter has just released a new CD with Na Píobairí Uilleann, entitled The Flowers of Erin’s Green Isle.
Fear a’ tí, Des Geraghty, will also welcome contributions from the floor in the form of songs, music or verse.
Admission: €5. Doors open from 7pm.
