Something a little bit different in Claremorris next Thursday

Conradh na Gaeilge will host a special concert and talk in Claremorris Public Library on Thursday next, November 8. The concert will feature Irish and Welsh music and poetry from the 10th century right up to the time of the last professional harpers in the 19th century, as well as music and song from the current living tradition. As well as playing a variety of ancient instruments, songs will include an “Old Irish rosc”, an excerpt from the Lay of Deirdre for the Sons of Usnach, the earliest known version of Eileen Aroon, an old Welsh epitaph for a warrior, and a comic song about learning Irish. Admission is free and all are welcome.
