Albert E. Hinds Community Plaza (weather permitting) or Community Room<br />
Angelina Carberry and Martin Quinn<br />
This husband-and-wife duo combine their talents<br />
on tenor banjo and button accordion performances<br />
of tight-knit music honed by years of old-fashioned<br />
family music-making. Carberry was born in<br />
England but returned to Ireland in the 90s,<br />
deeply rooted in the music of her County<br />
Longford family. Although she<br />
started on the tinwhistle, she<br />
quickly followed in the footsteps<br />
of her grandfather and took up<br />
the banjo. Quinn was born into<br />
a family of accomplished musicians<br />
and storytellers in County<br />
Armagh. He took up the accordion<br />
in 1981 and has developed<br />
a highly refined individual<br />
style. He is regarded as one<br />
of Ireland’s finest exponents of<br />
the accordion.<br />
