Join Rachel Uí Fhaoláin as she introduces her new publication Glór Naomh Bríde. This publication is the result of work examining the song repertoire of the late Jamesie McCarthy (1898-1977) in The Carroll Mackenzie Collection in Clare County Library Archives. The book focuses on the song ‘St. Brigid’s Well’ as sung by Jamesie McCarthy and the folklore surrounding the holy well at Liscannor.
There will be an opportunity to learn and sing the ballad of St. Brigid’s Well with Rachel on the day! Copies of the book will be made available to schools and libraries in Clare.
