This performance is being p-repeated (is that a word?) on Friday 14 February.
Both performances are sold out. There’s still a reserve list for Sunday. If you turn up without a ticket, you might be lucky if we get last-minute returns.
Before the evening’s performance from this giant of Irish music Liam O’Maonlai (Hothouse Flowers) and much-celebrated storyteller Martin Shaw, you’re invited to join them for a workshop during the day:
Making a Home for the Sweetness of Culture: exploring a sense of vocation in relationship to story, culture, song and place
“In this gathering we will explore how, as modern people, we can locate a sense of vocation in relationship to story, culture, song and place. That there is a great well of refreshment available to each one of us.”
Ó Maonlaí and Shaw will share stories of their own journeys along the way, offer tips, sing songs, maybe get you telling a tale or two. Ó Maonlaí is deeply versed in traditional Gaelic singing and a seminal figure in Irish music; Shaw has a lifetime’s study of ancient story in him, is an award-winning writer, and a long-time teacher of wilderness rites of passage.
This is a very rare opportunity to have two leading practitioners in dialogue with us on these wider questions. In the end however, the invitation is for you to deepen into a sense of quite what you are a natural scholar of.
