RUSSIAN - IRISH QUARTET

Boris Grebenshikov and his various bands performances are either big, « electric », in big concert venues or small, acoustic, in cozy clubs. Boris’s upcoming gigs fall into the second category.

Boris, the Godfather of Russian Rock, will be performing with three Irish folk musicians:

a legendary flautist - Brian Finnegan, one of the best contemporary accordion player in the country - Alan Kelly, and a master of Celtic percussion – John Joe Kelly.

Grebenshikov’s setlists are always the best kept secret, but one can easily imagine that any of Boris’s songs – be it old Aquarium classics or a new ones - would sound differently. But in no way unnatural - Irish music and Celtic culture were always a major source of inspiration for Grebenshikov.

Boris remembers how, in his youth, some fellow foreign students brought a cassette to Saint Petersburg, then behind The Iron Curtain, with a couple of hours of a western radio program dedicated to the folk music of the British Isles. « My Lord! How did I cherish these recordings!

I played the cassette nonstop for days! Each listening was sending my spirit wandering through mythical and nevertheless totally real world. It was like drinking the water from a magical source, giving me new force ».

Grebenshikov’s Irish band only started playing extensively this summer and is in a process of recording its first album. Those who saw the band playing testify that you’d leave the concert with a strong feeling that Grebenshikov’s music was always made to be played in pubs.

Come and join us and taste this joyful feeling!
