Bob Gallagher presents Aiteach: From Cú Chulainn to the Quare Fellow

Following on from its acclaimed premiere as a concert film at this year’s Musictown Festival filmmaker- turned- balladeer Gallagher brings his exploration of queer Irish identity and tradition to a live audience for the first time at the Dún Laoghaire Folk Festival. Weaving together traditional music, social history, poetry and the Irish language, this show will delve into Gallagher’s research, examining queer authorship and representation in Irish music and literary traditions. Gallagher will be joined on the night by musicians Claire Kinsella (Lemoncello), Gareth Quinn Redmond, Alannah Thornburgh, as well as poet and performer FeliSpeaks and special guests.
