Duo to perform traditional Irish music at the Cooperage

| 19 Apr 2016 | 05:35

Haley and Dylan Richardson, a young sibling duo of traditional Irish musicians, will play at the Cooperage in Honesdale from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Friday, April 22. They have shared the stage with many of the icons of Irish music, including The Chieftains, The John Whelan Band, Pride of New York, Altan, Dervish, and The Teetotallers. At the age of 13, Haley, with her highly ornamented Sligo style, has already won the 2015 Junior Fiddler of Dooney title, two All-Ireland Championships, brought home four All-Ireland medals, and won the Mid-Atlantic Fleadh six times, in the under 12 age group and once in the under 15 age category. She was also featured in an article in the Fall 2015 edition of Fiddler Magazine. Dylan’s driving rhythmic guitar backs Haley’s melodies beautifully and the duo released their debut recording “Heart on a String” in March 2015. The suggested donation is $10.
