Karen Tweed, John Whelan, Reg Meuross & Adrian Burns photosSharing a stage for the first time in over 25 years, RtCT are proud to present a double bill featuring accordionists John Whelan and Karen Tweed.

John, originally from Luton but now residing in Milford, Connecticut, was Karen’s most influential teacher and they will be playing solo and together, revisiting their shared repertoire of traditional tunes and compositions by Finbarr Dwyer, Paddy Fahy and Ed Reavy, plus evergreens learned from Mick Mulcahy, Kevin Burke, Jackie Daly, Joe Burke, Mick Butler, Martin Donohue, Des Hurley, Mick Kenny and Mary Bergin.

They will be joined by superb English singer-songwriter Reg Meuross and the brilliant guitarist Adrian Burns. Karen and Adrian will also be launching the release on CD of their cassette of session tunes made in 1985, when they frequented the sessions in the Good Mixer, Camden Town. There may be a few surprise guests to join them - a little trip down the backlanes of musical memories.
