The Fresh Air Collective are a Cork-based all-female musical trio comprised of Edel Sullivan (violin), Ruti Lachs (piano accordion) , and Eileen Healy (guitar) who perform a lively, and very mobile, set of tunes and songs from the Klezmer and jazz traditions in English and Yiddish. They will be taking residence for 4 days during which they will perform at several functions, including a 50 minute set during Culture Night Late in the Ballroom(8pm), a slot at the Heritage Fair and accompany the procession on the Saturday 23rd September. Expect world music, tangos, waltzes and klezmer/gypsy grooves, as well as humour, dance steps and some all-join-in ai-ai-ai singing!
Catch them on Thursday evening as a duo at the Elders Book launch at the Tipperry Museum, on Friday for Culture Night Late in the Ballroom at 8pm, Saturday at the Harvest fair and Sunday 24th from 2.30pm at the Bodega1830 for a special relaxing Jazz set.
