Just passing on the message:
CASCADES of SONG
The Clare Festival of Traditional Singing took place in Ennistymon on
the June bank holiday weekend from 1990 to 2002 and part of each
festival was the Grand Concert held in the Teach Ceoil. Folklorist
and song collector, Tom Munnelly, who passed away last year, recorded
each of these concerts and a CD, entitled ‘Cascades of Song’, will be
launched on Saturday May 17th, at 8pm at the Bellbridge Hotel, Spanish
Point. It includes some of the best singers of traditional song in
Ireland and beyond, such as Roisín Elsafty from Connemara, the late
Con Greaney of Co. Limerick, Nonie Lynch from Mullagh and many more.
Many of the singers who appear on the CD will attend, and the evening
promises to be a feast of singing and music – all are welcome.
