An Evening with Black 47 March 6, 2008

In 1993 Black 47 changed Irish-American music irrevocably when they burst out of MTV screens with their hit single, Funky Ceili. Not only were people dancing
in the aisles at their concerts, they introduced a new generation to the literature, politics and soul of Irish culture. Taking their name from the darkest
year of the Irish Potato Famine, their music, though sometimes based on traditional melodies, is laced with rock, reggae, hip-hop, New Orleans and modern
Jazz; while songwriter Larry Kirwan uses his playwriting experience and influences as varied as Yeats, Joyce and Dylan to fashion his dramatic cutting
Edge lyrics.
