A nation on the march for St Patrick's Day
St Patrick’s Festival’s I Love My City cultural programme is in its third year this weekend. It’s programme of 17 events concludes today, with, arguably, its highlight. When pushed to single out a not-to-be-missed item from the schedule, the festival’s creative director, Susanna Lagan, mentions Solo Space, a night of music and song at the Chapel Royal in Dublin Castle.
“For me it would be Solo Space,” she says, “because it has what I would consider three of the most amazing performers in the country at the moment — Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, Iarla Ó Lionáird and Seán Mac Erlaine. They’re performing together for this. Iarla and Caoimhín are both part of The Gloaming together, and Caoimhín and Seán Mac Erlaine and others would be in other groups like This Is How We Fly, but the three of them are coming together for this event.
