Presented by Artscope, Follow the Tune will follow and present the cultural footprint of the music and song of the area of North Roscommon. Each performance will celebrate this rich cultural landscape that over centuries has been the backdrop to some of the most powerful and loved pieces of music in the Irish canon.

No better way to kick off Follow the Tune than with the Roscommon legend, and longtime member of Dervish, Cathy Jordan. Cathy will take the audience through many of the well-known songs associated with the area - Eastersnow, Oisin in Ephin, Eileen Óg, Una Bhán - as well as some of her own compositions, songs which are now becoming part of the canon of songs local to Roscommon. Cathy will be accompanied on the night by Luke Devaney and joined by special guests Music Generation Roscommon Youth Voices and Kevin Regan, Bernard Flaherty and Cian Cunniffe.
