<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:200%"><b><span style="font-family:Cambria,serif">ABOUT NOEL LENAGHAN</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:Cambria,serif">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. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:Cambria,serif">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:Cambria,serif">In the past, he has performed and recorded
with such groups as <i>The Different Drums
of Ireland, Rakish Paddy, The Rambling Boys of Pleasure , A Moufthful of Tea
Leaves, </i>and the innovative<i> Druid Soul
Band.</i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:Cambria,serif"> 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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:Cambria,serif">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:Cambria,serif">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:Cambria,serif">Noel plays “A-model” 1917 Gibson mandolin in
a style that he has developed to suit the intricacies of traditional Irish
music.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:Cambria,serif">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.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:Cambria,serif;color:rgb(51,51,51)">Noel Lenaghan was educated at
St. Malachy's College in Belfast. An
Irish speaker, Noel earned an Honors Degree in Irish Studies at University of
Ulster, Coleraine, County Derry in 1997.
Noel teaches Irish language classes to teenage students in the Donegal
Gaeltacht.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:0.5in;line-height:150%"><span style="font-family:Cambria,serif;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><span style="font-family:Cambria,serif"></span></b></p>
