Rónán Ó Snodaigh Live in the Club

Rónán Ó Snodaigh is recognized as one of Ireland’s best and most innovative bodhrán players and percussionists and a highly original singer songwriter. Described by John Walsh (Hot Press) as “the living embodiment of Turlough O Carolan and Bob Marley”, and by a fan as “a bleedin legend, The Jimi Hendrix of Bodhrán”.

Rónán has also been creating a stir as a singer songwriter in both English and Irish. His songs are lyrically beautiful with edginess to their sound that is quite unique. Somewhere between folk and rock, there is an organic charm to his music, which is as surprising as it is endearing.

He has released four albums to date, Playdays, Tonnta Ró, Tip Toe and The Last Mile Home. Ó Snodaigh plays the Bodhrán, the Djembe, the Conga, the bongos and the guitar along with many other instruments.

His live solo gigs in Club Chonradh na Gaeilge are not to be missed as they give a rare chance to hear one of Ireland’s top musicians up close and personal in the most intimate of venues.

Aithnítear Rónán Ó Snodaigh mar dhuine de na ceoltóirí, bodhránaithe agus cnagcheoltóirí is fearr agus is nuálaí in Éirinn anuas ar an sárchumas ar leith atá aige sa scríbhneoireacht amhrán. Rinne  John Walsh (Hot Press)  cur síos air mar “the living embodiment of Turlough O Carolan and Bob Marley”, agus dar le duine a leanann an Snodach “Laoch gan aon agó, Jimi Hendrix an Bhodhráin”.

Tá caint tarraingthe ag Rónán mar scríbhneoir amhrán sa Ghaeilge agus sa Bhéarla chomh maith. Tá áille liriciúil agus gairbhe bhriosc le fáil sa cheol, tréithe a shainíonn agus a dhéanann uathúil ar fad é. Meascán de cheol tíre is rac-cheol atá ann, é gleoite orgánach, is bainfidh sé idir iontas agus ghrá asat.

Tá ceithre albam eisithe aige go dtí seo; Playdays, Tonnta Ró, Tip Toe agus The Last Mile Home. Seinneann sé an Bodhrán, an druma conga, na bongónna, an ‘bodhrán’’ leictreach, an giotár agus mórán uirlisí eile nach iad.

Ná cailltear amach ar a ghigeanna aonair i gClub Chonradh na Gaeilge mar deis atá iontu duine de mhórcheoltóirí na tíre a chloisteáil beo beathaíoch i gcompord cluthar an Chlub.
