Peggy Lynch was raised on songs and stories in Cork scoraíocht tradition

Singer Peggy Lynch takes Pet O’Connell on a musical journey from the ballads of Ballinagree to hosting this week’s Cork Fleadh Cheoil in Macroom.

THE three-year-old Peggy Lynch was rarely allowed to stay up late enough to hear the parish gossip when neighbours visited her family home for a scoraíocht.
