Reynolds Hanafin Cooley is happy to partner with the Irish Cultural Centre to bring the traditional Irish music duo bohola (say bo-HO-la), featuring the great Irish traditional sound of accordion virtuoso Jimmy Keane & the remarkable bouzar player and vocalist Pat Broaders, to the Boston area on September 24th at 8:00 pm at the Irish Cultural Centre, Canton, MA.
In his own words, Jimmy Keane says
It was not until he started playing with Pat Broaders that the style of Irish music that Jimmy Keane plays “really started to jell and this big huge raw and powerful sound came out of nowhere.” And he goes on to say, “We were like a glove – instinctively darting in and out of the music as if we were “as-one” playing the same big instrument.” Listen to the music of bohola on YouTube. Read more about bohola on their website.
What others say about bohola
The Chicago Tribune wrote, “bohola plays 300-year-old jigs and reels as if they were trying to tear the house down. Keane’s rippling accordion playing rapid, swirling melodies, while Pat Broaders accents the rhythm with his staccato bouzouki strumming. Broaders also takes the spotlight to sing plaintive ballads.”
