From Slingo in Northwest Ireland, Dervish has long stood at the forefront of traditional Irish groups. From high energy tunes played with intuitive fluidity to beautifully measured songs, from charming lyrics of life and love to inspiring melodies to lift audiences from their seats, all the elements are drawn together by vocalist Cathy Jordan’s masterful stage presence. Her stories to the songs and interaction with the audience draw people into the music in a way very few performers can achieve.
Along with Jordan’s charismatic vocals comes the dazzling virtuosity of award winning instrumentalists like Tom Morrow on fiddle, Liam Kelly on flute, Shane Mitchell on accordion, Brian McDonagh on mandolin, and Michael Holmes on bouzouki – Dervish is a solid structure of a band, it’s foundation in legendary pub sessions, it’s shape the result of years of international touring.
Now, sixteen years since first coming together, Dervish is in more demand than ever. Their colorful career has taken them to every corner of the globe and has seen them share the stage with such names as James Brown, Sting, REM, The Buena Vista Social Club, Oasis, and many more. Dervish is a band that both celebrates Irish music and has been instrumental in bringing it to a worldwide audience.
