Coming to The Gaiety...
Thursday 14 May.
Sean Kelly & The Super 8's

Sean Kelly & Friends present an intimate show of live Irish music played to the backdrop of Super 8 movies taken by Sean's Dad, a renowned Cine enthusiast, in and around Derry & Donegal 1958-1988.

The show features Sean Kelly on vocals, whistles, bodhran and guitar, Jono Lonie on fiddle and electric mandolin and Maree Limpus on AV and cello. As well as the professional music and visual delivery, Sean also presents an authentic dialogue on a tumultuous time in the history of Derry, Donegal and the north of Ireland.

It is a sensory-rich experience blending authentic Irish music with authentic imagery, no special effects whatsoever. This show is designed to entertain but also to enlighten and to leave the audience with that elusive sense of wonder.

Tickets will be $25 and available soon at The Good Story Bookshop in Akaroa.
