Nearby Annual Irish Storytelling Festival

The annual Irish Storytelling Festival opens with an evening concert of songs, music and spoken words with Robin & Bina Williamson, followed by a Comhaltas session of traditional Irish Music. The festival, which then runs all day Saturday 13th March at the Irish Cultural Centre, is a great way to get in the spirit for Paddy's Day. Putting Irish myths and folklore at the forefront, various tales are told by a clutch of storytellers well known for bringing make believe to life. There are appearances from Niall de Burca who tells stories for all the family, a workshop with Liz Weir and open floor session with newcomer Clare Muireann Murphy. The day finishes with a grand finale concert in the evening with stories by all three performers who are joined by special guest Colum Sands plus Bid Barnett as Irish author Peig Sayers and the centre's resident storyteller Kate Corkery as MC for the night.Annual Irish Storytelling Festival images
