May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Talamh an Eisc; Irish Music in Canada
March 13, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
$20From the early 1500s, the Irish have been coming to Canada, first to fish off the shores of Newfoundland but soon to settle in every corner of the country, where Irish music has blended with older Indigenous, Scottish and French traditions to create unique Canadian sounds.
The old song melodies have acquired new Canadian words about life in the bush, on the great lakes, on farms and in lumber camps. There have been Irish heroines and heroes, poets and bandleaders, and there have been wild characters. The kitchens, parlours and dance halls of Canada have been ringing with the sounds of jigs and reels, ballads and convivial songs from the Emerald Isle for nigh onto 300 years.
Come hear some of the great stories and Irish-Canadian music that is so much a part of our cultural world.
