The ache of the Irish

By Hollie Harris

The Long Johns return to Noosa for Sound Feast at The J on 24 February, with a great line-up of music.
Headlining the evening is Irish folk artist, Aine Tyrrell hot on the folk fest circuit and fresh from the Woodford Folk Festival, Port Fairy, Queenscliff and Cygnet Fest last year.
Aine’s music cradles the spirit of her native homeland, and tips the cap to a notable family history of Irish music tradition.
Ache, honesty, elated melodies and garnishing rhythms which for 1000 years of ancestry have slammed foot to floorboards in both celebration and protest.
In early 2015 Irish born singer songwriter Aine Tyrrell took the pieces of her life and songs into the desert on a musical and spiritual journey.
Recording outdoors beneath the stars and in abandoned mines among the red dust of the Australian outback, the fragments took form, resulting in the release of her stunning debut album Queen of Swords.
Catch Aine and a string of other talented musos for Noosa’s best night out at The J for Sound Feast next Saturday night.
It’s a free evening for all ages, so grab your crew and head out for a night of dancing.
