IMAGINING HOME IRELAND 2016 CENTENARY PROGRAMME


Tuesday 29 March 2016, 8pm


Martin Carthy, Camille O’Sullivan, Cait O’Riordan, Paul Brady, Andy Irvine, Cathal Coughlan, Lisa O’Neill.


A conversation between neighbours in song hosted by writer and broadcaster John Kelly, England celebrates the musical interplay between Ireland and England.


From the songs of the Rising to The Same Old Story and songs sung by soldiers in the first world war to Ewan MacColl’s Tunnel Tigers, the musical dialogue between Ireland and England has been alive for many years. English folk singer Martin Carthy is “arguably the greatest English folk song performer, writer, collector and editor of them all” according to Q Magazine. Cait O’Riordan was a founding member of the ever-influential The Pogues and is now a solo artist. Cathal Coughlan left Ireland in the 1980s to pursue music in London with his iconoclastic and influential bands Microdisney and The Fatima Mansions. Paul Brady and Andy Irvine are amongst Ireland’s most significant songwriters. The quickly emerging Lisa O’Neill is one of Ireland’s most exciting tunesmiths.


With musical director Kate St. John and a band featuring Neill MacColl and Steve Nieve, this concert is a meeting of Irish and English musicians taking us on a journey in song.


Tickets: ¤39.50, ¤29.50, ¤22.50
