of the museum/library at Teach Synge.
The performance will take place out of doors in front of the cottage
(indoors if it's wet), staring at 1.0 pm.
It will last for an hour or so, followed by a music session –
musicians welcome.
Performers will include
Sabina Higgins, Mark Kennedy, Geri Slevin, Noelle O’Hanlon,
John Arden, Margaretta D'Arcy, Donnacha O'Faolain, Peter Ryan and others.
