Bob Gallagher and Inishowen Traditional Singers’ Circle are delighted to announce the World Premiere of IT'S A FINE THING TO SING: SONGS & SINGERS OF THE INISHOWEN PENINSULA at the 35th Galway Film Fleadh on Sat 15th July | 15:30 | Pálás Screen 1

When singers Ian Lynch (Lankum), Ye Vagabonds and The Henry Girls are invited to create their own interpretations of songs from the Inishowen Song Project, the audience is invited into a vast collection of local singers and songs, documented over 40 years from within the community itself.

Framed within the stunning landscape of this area of north Donegal, these new performances, atmospheric archival recordings, and interviews with key community figures, demonstrate how songs pass from singer to singer, while also asking the question of why we sing.

The film is a debut feature documentary from award-winning director Bob Gallagher, commissioned by the Inishowen Traditional Singers’ Circle.

The film will be followed by a discussion with the director and members of the ITSC.

Tickets priced at €10 (plus fees) are available from the Galway Film Fleadh box office
