We are thrilled to be putting on a free performance of extracts from ‘The Keening: How Ireland’s ancient Wake Traditions teach Us all to Live, Love and Die’.
BAFTA-winning Achill Island writer Kevin Toolis and acclaimed Connemara Sean Nós singer Caitríona Ni Chennabháin share the wisdom and mystery of the Irish Wake’s ancient origins.
They will celebrate in song, word and bardic poetry how the Irish Wake can still teach us all to live, love and die in grace.
This event will mark the launch of a new project, Meitheal Muintire, co-sponsored by Irish in Britain and Innisfree Housing Association, which aims to understand and improve the end-of-life care experiences of Irish people, their families and carers in Britain.
Find out more about the project HERE.
We hope you'll join us for this unique free performance.
