<p class="" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%">Singer,
songwriter, flute, tin whistle, mandolin and guitar player Noel Lenaghan is a
musician whose work is steeped in the Irish tradition. Although he has a huge
body of tunes and songs from the reservoir of Irish traditional music, his
repertoire draws on a variety of sources including rarely performed songs from Galway,
Mayo, Donegal, New Zealand,
and his native town of Belfast. </p>
<p class="" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%">Born and raised in
Belfast, now living in Donegal, Noel was heavily influenced by the Irish
traditional music renaissance that took place during the 60's and 70's and has
recently released three solo albums, mostly of his own material, available on
Waterbug records.</p>
<p class="" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%">In the past, he
has performed and recorded with such groups as <i>The Different Drums of </i><i>Ireland</i><i>, Rakish Paddy, The Rambling Boys of
Pleasure , A Moufthful of Tea Leaves, </i>and the innovative<i> Druid Soul Band.</i></p>
<p class="" style="line-height:150%"> Noel
Lenaghan stands out from other traditional Irish musicians in that he plays
traditional dance music in a style which is indigenous to a small area in the
northwest of Ireland,
East Donegal and West Fermanagh.</p>
<p class="" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%">His repertoire
includes songs from the 18th.century that have never been recorded by others
and until recently have existed only in manuscript form. The studio recordings
are produced without a high degree of gloss, emulating a live performance.</p>
<p class="" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%">Noel is a teacher
and accomplished performer on the Irish wooden flute. He plays a hybrid of the Baroque
inverse conical bore flute common in 18th.century Europe.
It is made of Rosewood and has three keys which makes it particularly
suitable for Irish music especially the music indigenous to West
Fermanagh and East Donegal.</p>
<p class="" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%">Noel plays
“A-model” 1917 Gibson mandolin in a style that he has developed to suit the
intricacies of traditional Irish music.</p>
<p class="" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%">Lengaghan’s
original material is in the unique ballad style of the northwest of Ireland
and his compositions are in a form synonymous with this area. Noel sings
in a dialect of Irish which is peculiar to a very small area in Ireland.</p>
<p class="" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)">Noel Lenaghan was educated at St. Malachy's College in </span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)">Belfast</span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)">. An Irish
speaker, Noel earned an Honors Degree in Irish Studies at </span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)">University</span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)"> of </span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)">Ulster</span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)">, Coleraine, </span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)">County</span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)">
</span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)">Derry</span><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)"> in 1997. Noel
teaches Irish language classes to teenage students in the Donegal Gaeltacht.</span></p>
<p class="" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51)">Lenaghan has performed at most of the major Irish music
festivals including the Milwaukee Irish Fest; The Dublin (Ohio) Irish Fest;
Celtic Connections Music Festival, Glasgow; West Belfast Community Festival; the
Ardoyne Fleadh, the Boyle Arts Festival (Roscommon), the Ulster Fleadh Ceoil;
the Connacht Fleadh Ceoil; and the 2013 All Ireland Fleadh Ceoil. A Fleadh Ceoil is a festival and competition
in celebration of Irish music and culture. ###</span><b></b></p></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr">
