Description
Here the plight of the emigrant and labourer is presented in a concert entitled 'The Emigrant's Song'. From the stories of those forced to leave Ireland, to the workers of England, Scotland and Wales, these songs evince the impact of Celtic music on the folk music of North America, where so many came to make new lives.
Continuing their 4 seasonal releases in 1 year, Hanz & Claire Kathryn release 'The Emigrant's Song', the third in their seasonal music cycle and their very successful stage show. While most of us think of Summer as a time for sun and hitting the beaches, for many of our fore fathers in Ireland it was a time of leaving their homes to gain seasonal employment in England and Scotland mining, picking fruit or harvesting potatoes and the like. A trail so well documented in the books of Donegal man, Patrick McGill.
