Beamish Cork Folk Festival announces line-up

Mary Black, Capercaillie and Bert Jansch are among the artists playing the six-day folk festival

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 18 Aug 2004

The Beamish Cork Folk Festival celebrates its 25th anniversary in style with some of the genre's biggest names descending on the People's Republic from August 31 to September 5.

Along with Mary Black and Scottish supergroup Capercaillie who are co-headlining, you can catch Bert Jansch, Paddy Keenan, Jimmy Crowley, John Spillane, Noel Hill and Jackie Daly & Seamus Creagh.

Add in céilis, classes, lectures and a tribute to the legendary Tipperary accordion player and long-time resident of Cork, Matty Teehan, and it promises to be one hell of a do.

Celebrating the release of her Twenty-five Years – Twenty-five Songs compilation, Mary Black returns for three nights at Dublin's Olympia. She talks to Jackie Hayden about singing with Joan Baez, juggling music and motherhood and her ambitions and fears for her own children as they follow her into the shark-infested entertainment industry.

Like many others, I must admit to being a tad underwhelmed with Mary Black's last couple of albums, a lack of direction characterising one, an end-of-cycle lassitude the other. So it was that I approached this, her latest offering, with some trepidation. After just one listen I was convinced that I had heard one of the albums of the year thus far.

One trends to be suspicious of music with too immediate an appeal. Instant attraction often leads to boredom. With Mary Black's music, however, the opposite applies.
