Gathering to hear best of Irish singing
Envisaged as ‘a weekend of informal and intimate singing sessions’, the Drogheda Singing Gathering surely achieved its ambition to be Ireland’s largest assembly of traditional singers. Attracting solo singers of the highest calibre, and showing off the local harmony tradition brilliantly, the unique local landscape and hospitality made for a superb weekend.
Across 15 events, some 70 invited singers and countless others contributed songs in various settings. The weekend also offered the chance to savour 5,000 years of internationally significant local history in the company of expert guides.
