October 22, 2009 Since Dervish's formation in 1989, this traditional Irish group has time and again reaffirmed themselves as "a national jewel of Ireland." In 1993, after the release of their debut album, Harmony Hill, Dervish was invited by the Clintons to perform at the White House's St. Patrick's Day party, and was the first Irish band to play Rio's mega-festival "Rock in Rio" (in 2001, before an audience estimated at 240,000). Awarded the Freedom of the Borough of Sligo in 2004 by the Sligo City Council, the band was later invited by Irish Prime minister Bertie Ahern to accompany nearly "the entire Irish government" on a 2006 trade mission to China—the largest of its kind to date for Ireland—and perform for Chinese government officials. Now, it's Maui's turn to enjoy Michale Holmes on bouzouki (a stringed-instrument with a pear-shaped body, similar to a mandolin and of the "long neck lute" family), Cathy Jordan on vocals, bodhrán (Irish frame drum) and bones (no Halloween trick, "bones" are literally two bones played for percussion, typically a goat's ribs or lower leg bones), Liam Kelly on flute and whistles, Brian McDonagh on mandola (violin is to viola as mandolin is to mandola), Shane Mitchell on accordion and Tom Morrow on fiddle. 242-7469, www.mauiarts.org
