This ground-breaking collaboration between Irish Trad and the traditional music of Southern Italian, known as the Tarantella, delivers a unique concert experience that entwines and unwinds these two vibrant cultures. Master percussionists Andrea Piccioni and Dave Boyd have gathered a world-class ensemble of multi-instrumentalists. Celebrated Calabrese instrumentalist and singer Mico Corapi will be joined by Francesco Loccisano, recognised in his homeland for his virtuoso reinvention of the chitarra battente. The Irish tradition will be represented by Wicklow sisters, Lottie and Courtney Cullen on uileann pipes, flutes, concertina, and fiddle, and renowned Tipperary musician Brian Morrissey on banjo, mandolin, whistles and bodhrán. The Irish tour TarantaCeltica is supported by Istituto Italiano di Cultura.
