Re the monthly Rosendale Celtic Cafe: [currently on hold until further notice]

"Sarah Underhill & Ian Worpole . Sarah is an acclaimed Hudson Valley singer, and Ian and friends join her to provide a warm three hours of music. The audience is attentive and appreciative and the sound is modestly amplified.

'These guys transport you to a pub in Dublin where you relish the company of your neighbors and the spirit of the music and ale as well'- Cafe Guide"

- description from Rosendale Cafe website

 

 

Performed at the Pinewoods Folk Club, NYC, Fri. November 30 , 2007. www.folkmusicny.org

PR blurb for above concert:

"Sarah Underhill is a resident of Kerhonkson, a small town in Ulster County, New York. She is known throughout the region as "Banshanachie", Gaelic for "Woman Bard", because of her vast repertoire of traditional songs from Scotland, Ireland, and Northern England. Sarah augments these with songs from the Hudson Valley and elsewhere in North America, as well as with contemporary songs composed in traditional style by writers such as Sandy Denny and Archie Fisher. Don't be surprised if she even performs a song or two she has written herself. Long active with the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Sarah has appeared many times at the Clearwater's annual Hudson River Revival Festival. This will be her first concert for the Folk Music Society of New York. Ian Worpole of Woodstock, NY , will provide vocal and guitar accompaniment."
