Blackwater - Irish Music Band

Blackwater is an international band based in Beijing, China, playing Irish music. It consists in the singer Desmond McGarry (Canada), Zoe Wang (China) on the accordion, and Nico Torrese (France) on the guitar, the tenor banjo and the mandolin. Their music draws from the rich traditional Irish repertoire (The Limerick Rake, The Foggy Dew, Wild Rover, I’ll Tell Me Ma, Spancill Hill, John Ryan’s Polka…. and much more). From beautiful ballads to frenzied jigs and reels, Blackwater is probably the most authentic Irish music band one can listen to in Beijing. They’ve played a special concert for the President or the Republic of Ireland in june 2010.
