HIGHLY ACCLAIMED SONG BOOK NOW ON SALE

The newly launched ‘Collection of Lesser Sung Folk Songs’ has received outstanding reviews following the launch to a packed audience at Armagh’s Navan Centre.  The songs which were collected in the Derrynoose, Keady and Armagh area over the past thirty years provide deep insights into our heritage, lifestyle, circumstances, the mood of the people and the state of the country.  There are songs about emigration, betrayal, hardship, love homecoming and occupations.  There are sad songs, humorous songs all of which stir the pages of history into life again, events long over and gone appearing again in the freshness that attended them when they happened.

A number of the songs were performed and the audience which consisted of Americans, Germans, Dutch, English and Scotch as well as locals were all clearly impressed.  The book can be purchased by contacting: bardofarmagh_2000@yahoo.com
