Description

ABSOLUTELY IRISH! brings together the brightest stars on the traditional Irish music scene today for a once-in-a-lifetime concert. Filmed at the intimate Irish Arts Center in New York City's famed Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, Irish music impresario Mick Moloney presents three generations of musical virtuosos performing beloved jigs, reels and airs, and contemporary takes on favorite old tunes. Among other highlights, ABSOLUTELY IRISH includes special guest appearances by two living legends — 80-year-old flute player Mike Rafferty and 85-year-old Irish dancer Jo McNamara — and features a heart-tugging rendition of "Leaving Liverpool" performed by the entire ensemble.
