Rooted in the depths of traditional and contemporary folk music,Ger Wolfe continues to be a gentle and consistent voice on the Irish homegrown music scene. Celebrating 3 decades of recording this year, Ger takes to the road with songs from his vast repertoire including his latest offering “Songs from Freeman’s Ballyvourney Collection”, his tenth full album to date
A multi-instrumentalist, accomplished singer-songwriter and no stranger to the old songs, Ger has recorded 12 songs from the vast collection made by A.Martin Freeman in 1913-14: one of our most important collections of traditional song, contaning rare gems like the well-known ‘Aisling Geal’ (brought back to the people of Múscraí Gaeltacht by Seán Ó’ Riada in the 1960’s)
Come and join Ger this Spring in Coughlan’s, Cork’s prime folk music venue, for songs like ‘The Curra Road’, ‘The Crackling Radio’, ‘Lark Of Mayfield’, ‘Hello Gorgeous’ and of course old songs from the new album like ‘Clár bog Déal’, ‘Aisling Geal’ and ‘Fáinnín Geal an Lae' with a few tunes thrown in for good measure; book early, his Coughlans performance in 2024 sold out quickly.
