Donal Dineen - Lowerstate @ DeBurgho's, 19/12/2008

To celebrate Christmas the Lowerstate crew have invited Donal Dineen to DeBurgho's for what will be an intimate chance to connect with the maestro himself. Dineen's set are a joy to behold as he takes those in attendance on a musical tour, usually down some unexplored alleys but always emerging better for the journey. Notably, he focuses on the music and track selection without getting too caught up in peripheral issues such as beat matching and it never detracts from the experience. I remember someone observing after one of his previous performances that such an approach allows those in attendance to appreciate the particular track to the full without it being manipulated by the dj. It's also great to see that the lads have given him the freedom to play a 4 hour set, an opportunity no doubt relished by Dineen himself. This will be a special gig and it a very fitting way to celebrate the festive season.

Taken from Lowerstate.ie:

"Possessing two of the finest ears on this fair isle, Donal is a master craftsman at setting a mood and evolving it into a musical story, putting smiles on faces and broadening tastes along the way."

Tickets are available from the Lowerstate lads and from DeBurgho's.
