Nature in all its forms has inspired much of what we know and love about our Donegal and Irish landscapes. Celtic folklore, culture, history and place names point back to a time when a deep respect for the natural world was central to our existence. These stories tie us to the land and perhaps hold the key to unlocking the solutions we need to restore our connections with this lost love.
Join us with special guests Tru Music, Lorcan O’Toole, Maura Logue and others in an evening of reflection, stories and song that will inspire conversations and questions alike.
A delicious, locally sourced Irish meal is included in the ticket price.
Special Rate available at An Chúirt Hotel and Shuttle bus available.
The trú was a mythological trio of poet-musicians who were revered throughout the Celtic world. It’s here where trio TRÚ draw their inspiration. The rich heritage we draw from in traditional and folk music began with people interpreting patterns in nature through songs and stories. We find ourselves singing of trees, lakes, and mountains from across Ireland—songs that have stood the test of time. They carry a modern relevance now, as we look to preserve the very lands that are changing so quickly before us.
Lorcan O’Toole of the Golden Eagle Trust will explore old and simple indigenous Gaelic words sharing their importance in understanding the past relationship between humanity and nature.
Dark Daughter Productions under director Maura Logue, has been part of Glenveagh’s event programme for many years. Maura specialises in interactive storytelling and will present a new work for Solo Voice, written especially for this event offering her perspective on forgotten places & place names.
