Donogh Hennessy - Guitar
Lumiere is two distinct voices of Éilís Kennedy and Pauline Scanlon who are from Dingle in Co. Kerry and both with established solo careers. Pauline was a featured vocalist with the Sharon Shannon Band for three years. Together, they offer a distinctly feminine sound and feel, where voice is the primary instrument and Ireland as motherland is re-imagined. With Lumiere, the song and its delivery are the primary focus, technical concerns gives way to feeling as song and singer effortlessly merge. Pauline and Éilís have been familiar with each other's singing for many years. Lumiere is about the intimate act of singing, the emotional core of that act and how that relates to the familiar echoes in our lives. It takes its cue from the west Kerry tradition, which in itself prompts the freedom to sing without over embellishment. The songs concern themselves with themes of love and loss, of place and people. They are mainly drawn from the Irish tradition but also touch on the great American songbook. Deftly blending traditional and modern idioms, Kennedy's long, lithe luminous harmonies mesh seamlessly with Scanlon's evocative, ethereality to conjure a sound that manages to be both hauntingly timeless and elegantly fresh.

ABOUT:
The opening night, of the long running Festival was on Thursday September 13th 1979 at Douglas GAA Club; (there was no Festival in 1988) Put together from year to year purely on a voluntary basis by a dedicated group of enthusiasts, aided by major sponsorship, and a combination of various sponsors and supporters, including those who over the years contribute financially to the cost of staging the festival, Cork City Council, the Arts Council, Fáilte Ireland, Carling, Beamish Irish Stout and CIT, and the Evening Echo etc.
It's endurance is a tribute to the energy and labour of it's workers. it is appropriate to acknowledge the voluntary organising committee, and also the many volunteer workers who take charge of doors, organise artist accommodation, look after publicity, liaise with artists, and numerous other things involved in making such an event possible year on year. Particular recognition for Jim Walsh, Chairman and someone who has been a vital cog in Festival organisation since that very first year, long-serving Festival Director William "Hammy" Hammond, and also Timmy "the Brit" McCarthy, the inspirational figure behind the Festival's inception, as well as it's original Director/Secretary.
