Events for 2010
3/18 Monthly Meeting
We will be showing a part II of Sruth Na Maoile at our normal meeting place at 7:00 PM
Sruth Na Maoile- Celtic Song: Both separated and united by the Sea of Moyle, the nations of Ireland and Scotland have long shared rich cultural traditions that are still evolving today. A major link between these two cultures is their common use of the Gaelic language and the subject matter of their traditional songs. A radio program of the same name has gained popularity over the past many years and has effortlessly made the transition to television in this series.

The six episodes of Sruth Na Maoile celebrate the musical traditions of these passionate people in a festive display of Celtic music and culture. Each episode is beautifully filmed on location at the home of musician Dougie MacLeod in Dunkeld, Scotland and at Alex Finn's castle home in Galway, Ireland. Featuring performances from the top names in traditional Celtic music, including Nollaig Casey, Mary Smith, Brendan Power, and Máire Breatnach, this program will delight all fans of traditional Celtic music.

Episode IV, Songs of Place - explores the love of home and nature as it is commonly expressed through the lyric poetry and traditional song of both countries.Episode V, Songs of Dispossession II - continues the theme of the many Irish and Scots who were driven from their homeland by poverty, hunger and oppression.Episode VI, Songs of the Sea - demonstrates the awesome power of the sea and the immense influence that the seafaring tradition has had in the creation of a wealth of songs on both sides of the Sea of Moyle.
