EARLVILLE – The Earlville Opera House is thrilled to announce the arrival of a fresh new trio from the heart of Conamara, Ireland.

At 7p.m.. Saturday, June 8, the operahouse welcomes High Time, who combines Irish music and an intriguing blend of modern folk influences to produce a rich sound and exciting experience to delight listeners. The group features an unusual line-up of flute, whistles, harp, bodhrán, guitar and vocals, with some Irish dancing steps thrown in.

High Time makes a youthful and energetic statement with their equal measures of traditional music from old Ireland coupled with bold new arrangements, making for a tasty platter of story, music, song and dance from three young talented men all hailing from Ireland’s rugged west coast.

Ciarán Bolger is an entertainer, singer and guitarist who learned whistle and traditional sean-nós singing at a young age, developing a love and respect for the music tradition of Conamara while exploring a mixture of traditional and contemporary music, forming the basis for his emotive vocals and vibrant and expressive guitar style. Ciarán has toured in over a dozen countries, performing in some of the most prestigious venues in Paris, Rio De Janeiro, Geneva and across the globe.
