Na-Mara are Rob Garcia (mandolin) and Paul McNamara (guitar) who sing traditional and modern songs with passion and commitment with an all too rare international awareness, including English translations of songs from Breton, French and Quebecois traditions; and their take on traditional tunes from Brittany, France and the Spanish Celtic regions of Asturias and Galicia, as well as English and Irish songs .
Their performance is given added piquancy by the fact that Rob's father was a Basque child refugee in the 1930s, and Rob's playing reflects that heritage. Paul's repertoire reflects his Middlesborough background and Irish heritage.
Support from our residents the fabulous Sarah and Ian and the mighty Shotley Crue.
