This trio presents the scintillating voice of one of Ireland\u2019s finest Conamara singers, R\u00f3is\u00edn Elsafty together with the very rare and meltingly beautiful sound of the medieval Irish harp, played by Ireland\u2019s foremost historical harper, Siobh\u00e1n Armstrong, woven with the diverse colours of Ronan Browne\u2019s flutes, whistles and 170-year-old pipes. From sparkling songs to harp laments and old pipes \u201cpieces\u201d, we are given a glimpse of the unique sound of early Ireland. R\u00f3is\u00edn performs evocative unaccompanied songs in the florid Conamara style, together with achingly beautiful 17th and 18th century Irish harpers\u2019 songs with harp and flute accompaniment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
