For samples of Niamh's singing, visit:
or visit her own web-site, at:
"Niamh Parsons has come to be known as one of the most distinctive voices in Irish music. Her voice
has drawn comparisons to such venerated singers as Dolores Keane, June Tabor and Sandy Denny. The great Scottish
balladeer Archie Fisher said of Niamh, "a songstress like her comes along once or twice
in a generation."
"It has been said that Niamh Parsons may not be the most famous Irish Balladeer, but many feel
she's the best. Described in the Boston Herald as both emotionally haunting and tonally as clear as crystal,
Niamh's albums have been 'must-have' collector's items for any lover of songs and singing. Niamh
has recorded six studio albums and one live album to date. For the last 9 years, Niamh has been playing in
a duet with Ennis-based Graham Dunne—there is a spiritual bond between Niamh and Graham
when they perform, which draws out the essence of the songs."
We regret to announce that, as of Fri. 11th September, the activities
of 'Court Sessions' are being suspended for the near future.
The main reason for this is the absence of reliable and reasonable venues for acoustic music on Fridays in South West
London; another reason being the ongoing heath problems of our organiser..
However, we can announce that, next Summer we have: -
Fri June 11th- DICK GAUGHAN
Details will be posted soon- ie venue and ticket availability etc.-
Tickets: Advance purchase- CS members £10.00; non-members £11.00
As usual, cheques to Court Sessions please, and posted to:
