The Xi' An Si:

The Xi'An Si are a Chinese traditional group with an obsession for the music of their home country. By playing some of the world's most ancient instruments, they continue a tradition that has existed in their native land for thousands of years.
Recently though, they have found themselves expanding their repertoire to include the music of a very distant nation. Noticing the inexplicable similarities between the traditional music of Ireland and China , the group have recently released their debut album, 'The Xi'An Sessions,' consisting of Irish tunes infused with the music of China . The album aims to showcase the common integrity and soul that is found within the traditional genre throughout the world.
The Xi'An Si are playing on Friday July 24th at 9.00pm in Ionad Deirbhle in Eachleiim. They are part of an event that includes an informal night of story telling by retired lighthouse kkeepers.
