It has been my great honour to work with these brilliant people – Nicola Byrne and Joe Delaney, who with Dolores Barry represent An t-Aos Mhór the voice of wisdom, in A Song for Ballymun on Thursday 28th May, 7.30pm in @axis_ballymun. We’ve worked alongside the Secret Singers band and local harper @lukewebbharpist to craft beautiful music.

We are also joined by the fantastic students of St. Joseph’s Senior National School whose fresh perspective has been an inspiration in the creation of this show. With the students of @trinitycomp1, they represent Guth an Óige - the voice of youth. I am dying for you to hear voices from across the ages, singing together – in unison.
