Cherish the Ladies to Fill the Avalon With the Sounds of Ireland

It’s not anywhere close to St. Patrick’s Day, but for one night in October it might just feel like it as the Avalon Theatre in Grand Junction hosts Cherish The Ladies. Billy Altman of the New York Daily News says “Cherish the Ladies is one of the foremost Irish traditional music groups in the world.”

Here’s what others are saying.

"Superbly led by the larger than life Joanie Madden on whistles, flute, harmony vocals and introductions, these ladies dusted the perceived cobwebs off traditional music by presenting it in a new light, with a mixture of first class 'kick-ass' playing, sensational singing, dynamic dancing and infectious humor, that packaged it and sent it into the modern world - without ever losing respect for the musical roots." This homely approach, with great stage banter, ensured not only an entertaining night but also that never before has 'trad' been so enjoyable."

-The Belfast Telegraph, UK

 

"One of the best nights of music I've ever heard...I can't rave enough about Cherish the Ladies!"
