Cherish The Ladies

For 39 years and counting, Cherish the Ladies, one of the planet's most heralded Irish music ensembles, has won the hearts of audiences worldwide with their rousing blend of traditional Irish music, captivating vocals, and propulsive step dancing. While speaking of this Grammy-nominated Irish American super group that formed in New York City in 1985 to celebrate the rise of women in what had been a male-dominated Irish music scene, The Boston Globe quoted, “It is simply impossible to imagine an audience that wouldn’t enjoy what they do”.

Since their inception, they have toured the world performing thousands of concerts from top performing arts centers to the White House and the Olympics, recorded 18 critically acclaimed albums, performed over 300 nights with leading symphony orchestras and filmed an Emmy award winning PBS television program, “An Irish Homecoming”.

Under the leadership of the National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Award winner, the irrepressible champion flute and whistle player Joanie Madden, Cherish the Ladies never fail to enrapture audiences with their soul-stirring music and song, mesmerizing step dancing and dynamic presence. With their unmistakable sound and unparalleled artistry, Cherish the Ladies continues to leave a lasting impression on all who have the pleasure of experiencing their captivating performances.

Cherish the Ladies

For over 38 years,  Cherish the Ladies , one of America’s most heralded Irish music ensembles, has won the hearts of audiences worldwide with their rousing blend of traditional music, captivating vocals, and propulsive step dancing. To quote The Boston Globe: “It is simply impossible to imagine an audience that wouldn’t enjoy what they do,” speaking of this Grammy-nominated Irish American super group that formed in New York City in 1985 to celebrate the rise of women in what had been a male-dominated Irish music scene. Since their inception, they have toured the world performing thousands of concerts from the White House to the Olympics, recorded 18 critically acclaimed albums and an Emmy award winning PBS television program, An Irish Homecoming.

Under the leadership of Joanie Madden, the 2021 National Heritage Fellowship Award winner and All-Ireland flute and whistle champion, these extremely gifted women create an incredible moving experience brimming with sheer talent and exuberant entertainment. Their group includes All-Ireland champions Mirella Murray (accordion) and Nollaig Casey (fiddle) along with the nimble finger-work of Mary Coogan (guitar), the beautiful vocals of County Clare songstress Kate Purcell (lead vocals, guitar) and the extremely talented County Galway native, Catherine McHugh on piano. World champion Irish step-dancers will add their magical footwork to the performances.

The New York Times calls their music “passionate, tender, and rambunctious,” and The Washington Post praises their “astonishing array of virtuosity.” They won recognition as the BBC’s Best Musical Group of the Year and were named Top North American Celtic Group at the Irish Music Awards. They have collaborated with such musicians as Vince Gill, Nanci Griffith, The Boston Pops Orchestra, Pete Seeger, The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, The Chieftains, Don Henley and Arlo Guthrie as well as being the most successful Celtic Pops act in history with over 300 performances with leading symphony orchestras.

Madden and her band have amassed a long, impressive list of awards at home and in Ireland, including being forever immortalized with a street named in their honor on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx, NY. No matter how far from home, their continued success as one of the best-loved Irish groups rests on their blend of virtuoso instrumentals, beautiful vocals, traditional and original arrangements along with stunning step dancing — all presented with extraordinary talent, creativity, and humor.

After another sold out Boston show during the Pink Friday 2 World Tour , Nicki Minaj went online to address critics who believe she only works with “nobodies.”

The negative remarks came after the record-breaking artist brought out JT , Bia , Akbar V , Maliibu Miitch and Katie Got Bandz to perform their “Super Freaky Girl (Queens Mix).” Although each rapstress shined in “Gag City”  and left Minaj gagged as well, it didn’t stop critics from having much to say.

In response, the Queens, NY icon took to X to say, “Well I guess your faves are ALL nobodies who can’t compete b/c they’ve all gotten the collaboration they requested. Silly wabbits #GagCity tour has already made history for being the most successful tour by a female rapper in history after only 17 shows. Let’s see where it ranks out of all HIP HOP tours (male or female) when we wrap.”

She went on to thank The Barbz for their support while also listing her major milestones since dropping Pink Friday 2 back in December.

“I guess they wuz rlly believing the tour wasn’t selling that’s why yall rlly mad huh? Love. Light. Live. Life,” she added. “I’ll cherish these moments forever. The energy & beauty the Barbz bring with them. You’d have to rlly be there to understand the level up. We’re just getting started”

“ Sneaker line out TMRW #PinkFridayFragrance selling out non stop #PinkFridayNails loved #PinkFriday2GAGCITY Record breaking tour #PinkFriday2 Platinum album #HeavyOnIt RECORD LABEL,” she asserted.
