Congrats to that outstanding pianist Cathal Breslin from Troy Park (and latterly England, Spain, US and Dublin), who plays Carnegie Hall in New York on Friday June 26th. (Nice one to go to, eh!)
According to the Breslin mole, Cathal's off in Spain playing at the moment, and has a busy rest of the year, with tours in China and Japan. His last concert in Derry, at Magee a few months ago, was a tour de force - at one stage the grand piano looked in mortal danger . .
It seems a contingent of family and friends are expected to make the trip to NY for the occasion. The concert has been sponsored be the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Culture Ireland. Tickets go on sale this Sunday, April 26 at 11am. They are available to book online at www.carnegiehall.org priced between $25-$35.
Cathal joins a distinguished line of Derry artistes who've played Carnegie, including Phil Coulter and Josef Locke. Carnegie Hall is featured on the sculpture of Locke outside the City Hotel.
Phil Coulter talking about 'The Town I Loved So Well' (though it certainly wasn't written in 1995)
