Am Samstag, den 15. März 2025 wird es nach dem Erfolg im vergangenen Jahr wieder eine große St. Patrick’s Day Party in der Fortuna Kulturfabrik geben. Die Stadt Höchstadt und der Freundeskreis Höchstadt-Castlebar konnten die Gabriele Schuh Band sowie Steve Reeves dafür gewinnen.
Die Gabriele Schuh & Band nimmt mit ihren “Irish Dreams” das Publikum mit zu den grünen Hügeln, den rauen Küsten und den gemütlichen Pubs Irlands.
Gabrieles Stimme klingt warmherzig und markant zugleich, wie Irland bei Sonnenschein. Vom mitreißenden Whiskeysong mit Bodhrán bis hin zum zarten Abschiedslied in irischer Sprache singt sie irische Raritäten und bekannte Folksongs voller Melancholie und Lebensfreude. An Gabrieles Seite stehen mit Stephi Fregien und Armin Wolfermann zwei Musiker, die mit typisch irischen Instrumentals und gefühlvoller Liedbegleitung begeistern.
Bilder irischer Momente und Landschaften begleiten den Abend auf großer Leinwand und lassen zusammen mit Gabrieles augenzwinkernden Geschichten das Publikum mal amüsiert, mal sehnsuchtsvoll in die irische Kultur eintauchen.
Ein einzigartiges Konzerterlebnis in dem Musik, Bilder und Geschichten harmonisch verschmelzen und das Irland direkt in Ihr Herz bringt. (Mehr unter www.gabrieleschuh.de)

Dublin’s Grafton Street has been hammering barefoot buskers into world class musicians for decades. Glen Hansard (The Frames) and Damien Rice kicked off international music careers peddling their guitar-vocal talents on the bustling shopping strip.
Dublin may be the throbbing heart of the Irish music scene but Grafton Street is where the strength of its pulse is measured.
Irish singer-songwriter Steve Reeves cut his teeth playing Grafton Street every weekend in the early 1990s while still at school. Then in 1995 Steve’s debut album “Eyes Of Pearls” was an instant hit in Ireland and named Album of the Month with widespread radio airplay and TV appearances. Steve began touring on the back of that album and now he tours the globe, performing his original songs in venues large and modest from New York to Berlin, Krakow to Paris to Frankfurt to Portugal and back to Dublin.
Back home in Ireland Steve has toured with The Furey Brothers, The Dubliners as well as popular Irish TV personality Tom O’Connor, attracting critical and public acclaim from every quarter of the Irish music scene.
For almost two decades Steve has been tirelessly touring the northern hemisphere, up to 200 shows a year, interacting with audiences, with his fans, reworking his set lists, his key changes, his tunings, and climbing up through the ranks of international touring musicians with every show.
