Feature Act New York Public Library
Featu
re Act NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY is a Sydney based band who’ve been together for a lot longer than they care to think about. Their music ranges from hard driving bluegrass rhythms to soft acoustic rock to gentle ballads, all performed in striking three and four part harmonies and Irish music – notably Whiskey in the Jar, about a drunk who robs people, and Riley’s Daughter, about a man who seduces an innkeeper’s daughter, then kills the innkeeper. Expect a lot of good music, good harmonies, good humour and good fun. They don’t come down the highway too often, so try not to miss it. The New York Public Library are: John Flanagan (vocals, mandolin, tenor guitar), Warren Boyd (vocals, banjo, guitar), Isabelle Fogarty (vocals, double bass, ukulele) and Alan Smart (Guitar and not much else). Come along and find out where they got their name and what John does for a day job. All will be revealed.
