Kieran Fahy / Jacques Pirotton : "the emigrant’s lament"


True Irishman Kieran Fahy came up with the idea of asking the Belgian jazzman Jacques Pirotton to work with him at a musical training course he was due to give at Virton in Belgium. At this unlikely musical encounter, Kieran was won over by the musicality and originality of Jacques’ interpretation of the repertoire chosen for the performance that evening, whish comprised dances (jigs and reels), ballads and the music of Turlough O’Carolan. Drawing on their long experience, these two musicians offer you an emotion-packed, impressively interpreted repertoire from the Emerald Isle.
“The Emigrant’s Lament” est principalement le fruit de rencontres. Rencontre autour d’une bière d’Orval par une nuit claire sous le ciel de Gaume, rencontre dans les brumes des Alpes Juliennes, en Slovénie… De ces moments dont à priori on n’attend rien sinon le plaisir d’être ensemble pour parler de musique. Et puis on se met à imaginer des alliances improbables, comme celle d’un violoniste irlandais traditionnel avec un guitariste de jazz belge… Kieran Fahy et Jacques Pirotton, une rencontre et surtout une complicité toute neuve. Etienne Schreder
