 Regina Delaney
Traditional Irish Dance & Music: Vocals & Harp
Description:
Regina sings in Irish and English in the sean nos style (ornamented and unaccompanied) and also accompanies herself on harp. She has studied Irish harping with Aine Minogue and classical harp with Stephanie Curcio in the U.S. and in Ireland with Janet Harbison and the Belfast Harp Orchestra. Comhaltas Ceoltori awarded Regina a scholarship to study harp in Ireland as part of their Living Traditions Award. She also performs hard and soft shoe step dancing, ceili (group) and set dancing, teaches ceili dancing in local schools, and calls ceili dances. In 1999, Regina was selected to represent New Hampshire at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, D.C. where she performed Irish tunes, ballads, stepdancing, taught ceili dancing and Irish children's crafts, and demonstrated Irish cooking. In a residency program the children are taught Irish music, song, dance, poetry and stories. The students then perform all they have learned in a culminating performance and invite the audience to join in towards the end.
