Larry
Beau
leads a gathering of vagabonds and minstrels for ‘Mad as Mist and Snow’ an unconventional Christmas concert and
celebration of all tides Yule at the Back Loft venue. Far from the marketing
madness of tinsel-topped shopping sprees, let Beau lead you on a journey of
festive feasting and frolics, storytelling songs and lyrical lore, amid live musical marvels and audiovisual awesomeness, mulled wine, royal
chai tea and hot incredible edibles!
Larry Beau is a
Galway born minstrel, composer and songwriter. He began as resident musician
with San Francisco's Omnicircus, before developing his identity as a modern- day Irish Minstrel after
twelve months’ story collecting in Dingle in 2002. Since then he has traveled
with his show to New York, Hollywood, Edinburgh, Florence and Berlin's
traveling vintage tavern -Spiegeltent. Beau
has released three critically acclaimed albums to date, including William
The Brave and I
Dream of Tiger Rose. He has performed at the Electric
Picnic, live on RTE Radio1, Tg4 and Tv3. ‘Mad
as Mist and Snow’ will feature special performances of songs from his
forthcoming album The
Sundance Vagabonds, a celebration of the hope, love and survival of
society’s underdogs.
If Kate
Bush and John Lennon had a love-child, Larry Beau would be their shy black-clad
son. - THE TIMES
Like a
stray from the nether regions of Neil Jordan’s Interview with the Vampire,
Larry Beau inhabits a gothic underworld where decadence, lust and horror vie
with one another for his, and our, attentions. ‘I Dream Of Tiger Rose’ is a
heady amalgam of high-camp cabaret and doleful balladry - IRISH TIMES
