#2912: New Irish Music

Irish composer David Flynn visits the WNYC studios for this edition of New Sounds. Flynn first learned guitar by way of heavy metal riffs and solos, then fell into the folk scene, and incorporates influences from almost all musical styles. But he wants his chamber pieces to sound Irish. We'll hear some of these folk roots and how they sound in David's compositions. Perhaps we'll also hear a bit from the latest collaboration by Dennis Cahill and Martin Hayes, and more.
