Bealtaine music at Templemore Library

'Sweet Summer Long', an evening of folk and light classical songs and music for Bealtaine, will take place at Templemore Library on Wednesday, May 16th.

Actress/songstress Edel Murphy (Dublin), guitarist/singer-songwriter Ewan Cowley (Derry) and violist/violinist Karen Dervan (Galway) join forces to bring an evening of music and song to Templemore as part of the Bealtaine Festival 2018.  The trio will present their unique interpretations of much-loved songs from the folk and roots tradition, such as 'The Water is Wide' and 'Hard Times'.

The evening will also boast instrumental chamber music composed by Ewan Cowley from his recently released debut CD 'The Elevated Life', as chosen by Marty Whelan of RTÉ Lyric FM as 'CD of the Week' in spring 2017, and some light classical music as arranged by Karen Dervan.

This evening of top-class music will happen in the library on Wednesday, May 16th, at 7.30pm. This is a perfect counter-point to the well-spring of traditional music, which will be available throughout the town the following weekend for Fleadh Ceoil Thiobrád Árainn. While this is a free  event, booking is advisable as places will be limited. Booking by phone only at (0504) 32555 or by calling in to the library.
