   About Sliotar

Sliotar is a three piece band based in Dublin playing modern folk music.
The roots of the tunes they play come from the music of Ireland,
but in the past few years the group is relying more and more on original
compositions. Sliotars fourth album, Cirque de Sliotar, has finally captured
the modern sound that has been in development and has been an obvious
at their live shows. Sliotar has been around now over twelve years,
eight with the current line up, and they have one of the longest running
residencies in Dublin in the Porterhouse. Also in the past few years
Sliotar have changed their way of touring, resulting the band travelling
all around Europe and even further. And still the Sliotars best asset is
the live show. Around 200 concerts every year keeps the band tight and
the energy of their live show is something that can only be experienced
and is not for the faint hearted.

Check us out in Youtube!


Whoa! We thought at first it was an
acoustic "Who" with the uilleann
pipes doing the Rodger Daltry
part. But no, it was the
high-energy Sliotar giving
it some wellie; which they
continue to do through the
whole album. More like
'ear-grabbing' folk music than
the finger-in-the-ear ballad
and chorus style. Definitely
lively & well worth a listen.

ElectricScotland.com


"Cirque du Sliotar is the accomplished
and lively fourth CD from Dublin
band Sliotar. The fast tracks were
our favourites. Listening to them,
it is easy to picture concert goers
jumping to their feet much the
same way Horslips inspired an
earlier generation with their mix
of traditional and modern"
"Tracks like Lupo, Cirque de Sliotar,
Bum Chuck, The Wall of Liscarrol
and Drunken Landlady will liven
and improve the mood at any
gathering."

Raidió Idirlín


"The music is traditional Irish,
and this crew of three makes
the most of its limitations. They
manage to mobilize a bigger and
fuller sound than many a band
that has twice their size.
The instrumental tunes are
arranged in a highly original
manner, with interesting twists
and turns. The choice of songs is excellent"
"Sliotar's music is pure strong stuff."

-Walkin' T:-)M, Folk World


both simple and rich with a production
style that blends just two or three
instruments at time and lets each stand out."

Tom Nelligan, Dirty Linen

...Sofa Unplugged am Samstag (14.11.)
...Jackpott am Donnerstag (12.11.)
...Karten für Silvester (31.12...)

Huhu, wir sind es mal wieder!

Jetzt aber erstmal schön der Reihe nach, nicht dass uns da
noch wieder jemand durcheinander kommt...

1.) Der Vorverkauf für die unglaubliche
BEERBINGO-SILVESTER-GALA läuft noch
bis zum 20.11.!!! Karten kosten schlappe 11,- € inklusive lecker
Buffet und Neujahrs-Sekt und sind nur im Zweistein erhältlich!
Die Show wird krank, die Anzüge schlecht, die Stimmung gross!
Also jetzt mal rasch noch 'ne Karte sichern... Wir sind bereit!

2.) Am Donnerstag geht es beim Beerbingo tatsächlich schon
wieder um einen 90,- € Getränke-Gutschein!
Es wird also wieder spannend ... geht das Ding raus,
oder durchbricht der Pott wieder die Grenze der Dreistelligkeit?
Später wissen wir mehr...

3.) Was wir auf jeden Fall jetzt schon wissen ist, dass wir Samstag
ein fabelprächtiges Sofa-Unplugged-Konzert für Euch am Start haben!
Schon zum dritten Mal kommt das Berliner Duo SWIM in's Zweistein
und das nicht ohne Grund. Mehr Energie, Spass und Druck lässt sich
live zu zweit quasi kaum generieren! SWIM gehören auf jeden Fall zu
den besten Acts, die bisher bei Sofa Unplugged gespielt haben und
stehen mit ihrer just auf Artist Station/Soulfood releasten CD
"learn how to swim" jetzt auch endlich da, wo sie schon lange hingehören:
Deutschlandweit in den Plattenläden...
und natürlich auf unserer kleinen Sofabühne, wo sie an diesem Abend auf
die fabelhafte Düsseldorfer Band One Eye Open treffen werden, die bereits
vor 8 Jahren bei der Zweistein Show überzeugen konnte... Da geht einiges!
Los geht's um 20 Uhr und der Eintritt ist wie immer frei!

Wir freuen uns schon auf Euch,

die Crew

SILVESTER im ZWEISTEIN !!!

Am Montag (19.10.) startet im Zweistein der Vorverkauf
für die grosse BEERBINGO-SILVESTER-GALA!!!

... Heiligabend: Ein Donnerstag!
... Silvester: Ein Donnerstag!
Wer hat sich diesen Quatsch eigentlich ausgedacht?
So geht das doch nicht... zwei Wochen ohne BEERBINGO!
Und da das Weihnachten ja wohl wirklich mal so gar nicht
geht, weil Mutti uns sonst den Popo versohlt, legen wir
hiermit Veto ein und ziehen für Silvester alle Register
und auch jede Menge Zahlen, nämlich bei der grossen

BEERBINGO-SILVESTER-GALA!!!

Karten gibt es ab Montag und nur im Zweistein.
Für schlappe 11,- € bieten wir Euch ein köstliches
kaltes und warmes Buffet, den Sekt um 12 Uhr und
natürlich die BEERBINGO-Karte und garantieren für ein
Feuerwerk der grenzdebilen Unterhaltung mit einer geballte
Ladung Quatsch, Blödsinn, Jux und Dollerei, Mumpitz,
Nonsens und diverse Dinge, die noch nicht mal wir selbst
uns jetzt schon ausmalen können... incredible!!!
Da geht einiges!

Kommt auf's Sofa!

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog):
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001

Where traditions are not so rare;
Sea, country and works scent the air;
A multitude of monuments,
Planted tubs and patterned pavements.

The longish pedestrian malls;
The remnants of defensive walls;
Historic buildings are a gauge
Of the respect for heritage.

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields;
Estuaries guarded by shields;
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes;
Romantic-ruin go-betweens.

Rivers in parts licked by trees,
Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries,
And crossed by practical delights -
Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.

Fine churches headed at Durham;
Football kits ad infinitum;
Kept castles - one for study;
Masonry behind masonry.

And, with moulding-works out that way,
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

(C) David Franks 2003

Sensationellerhochdietassenunduiuiuiui-JACKPOTT

Freunde der grenzdebilen Unterhaltung!

Da kommt aber wieder ganz schön was auf uns zu,
denn zum zweiten Mal in der Geschichte des unglaublichen
BEERBINGOS, spielen wir diesen Donnerstag (15.10.)
mit Euch um einen wahrlich aberwitzigen Jackpott!!!
Leute, es geht wieder um einen

240,- € GETRÄNKE-GUTSCHEIN !!!

Wer soll denn das eigentlich alles...?
Musste es denn wirklich erst wieder so weit...?
Hätte da nicht mal jemand bei Zeiten...?
Wo soll denn das eigentlich noch...?
Ja, sind wir eigentlich noch zu...?
Wir meinen: Ja!
Aber nur, wenn jemand von Euch dieser Sache Donnerstag
endlich ein Ende bereitet und dieses Wahnsinnsgerät
abräumt... keine Widerrede!
Wir zählen auf Euch, sind wahnsinnig gespannt und
extrem bereit... kann los gehen!

Tanzen ist später!
