Project Organiser: Lasairfhíona Ní Chonaola

Live-stream presentation and performance of traditional sean-nós songs from the rich singing tradition found in the predominantly Gaeltacht regions of Connacht, Munster and Ulster. This engaging performance will include; information on the background and history of the songs; the regional variations; showcasing the practitioners of the tradition; and performances of a number of the melodic and rhythmic songs. Participants of the live-stream will have the opportunity to ask the performer any questions they may have in relation to this unique Irish singing practice.

This live-stream presentation can be viewed on Wednesday 19th August at 2pm through the following FaceBook page; https://www.facebook.com/Aransinger1/.

This project is one of a series supported by the Department of Culture, Heritage and Gaeltacht to showcase elements of Ireland’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) as part of Heritage Week 2020.
