A Celtic Evening

 

Diane Edgecomb accompanied by Celtic Harper Margot Chamberlain

An award-winning performer and recording artist, Edgecomb is known both for her original pieces and for her entertaining adaptations of traditional tales.  As a duo, Diane and Margot combine rich story material with an underscoring of original and traditional music. This enchanting performance weaves together favorite legends and music of Ireland. Known for her humor, wit and vivid characterizations, Diane is equally skilled at bringing to life the humorous Legend of Knockgrafton or Ireland's classic legend Deirdre of the Sorrows . Original and traditional harp melodies surround the stories and accompany the songs. Diane and Margot have been featured performers at Bread and Roses Festival, Three Apples Storytelling Festival and at coffeehouses like the 'Me and Thee' and the 'Old Vienna'. Enjoy an evening of humor, passion and music with two inspiring performers.

 

~ A Celtic Evening is also available as a fuller musical event with the addition of Michael Punzak on story and fiddle and Tom Megan on accordion, keyboard and pennywhistle ~

 

"Thoughtfully composed and beautifully presented, A Celtic Evening was a joy for us all. The combination of both your talents made for an inspirational evening that moved the audience to laughter and to tears, and left us with a feeling that magic was in the air." Manager of Adult Services, Norman Rockwell Museum

"Deirdre is nothing less than a masterpiece!" Linda Goodman, chair, Three Apples Storytelling Festival

"Publisher’s Weekly said it best when they stated: ‘A storyteller in the grand tradition, Edgecomb is a virtuoso of the spoken word.’ She has been researching, studying, collecting and telling Celtic stories for 20 or more years and it shows...mentally and emotionally we were wherever storyteller, Ms. Edgecomb, transported us to be, while Ms. Chamberlain and her Celtic Harp made us feel at home there.” article in the Ashland Tab, March 23rd, 2006
