Shay and Michael Black are singing siblings from Ireland’s foremost family of song, the Black family, which includes their sisters Mary and Frances, and brother Martin. The Black Brothers repertoire includes old Dublin street songs, music-hall songs, historical ballads, songs from the Irish, English and Scottish traditions, along with songs by contemporary writers. Shay and Michael are close harmony singers, with a special fondness for songs that include their audience in chorus. The brothers have recently been joined by piano player Eamonn Flynn and fiddle virtuoso Bobbi Nikles. The performances include up-tempo reels and jigs, along with some mighty fine dancing. Each show is interspersed with stories, jokes and humorous childhood anecdotes. Audiences invariably leave their concerts smiling broadly and humming new choruses.

Snacks plus local beers and wines will be available for purchase to benefit the Community Center of Mendocino.
