Sea shanties: Singing out with songs from Cork's maritime tradition
Eamonn Ó Ceallaigh is a singer and organiser of the sea shanty event at Cork Arts Theatre.
Singer, gaeilgeoir and primary school teacher, Eamonn Ó Ceallaigh, is collaborating with Cork’s Meitheal Mara, the community boatyard, in singing sea shanties with the people of Cork and Galicia.
You don’t have to be a salty old sea dog to belt out shanties at the Cork Arts Theatre where Amhráin na Mara (Songs of the Sea) takes place on January 28. The session is open to everyone that likes to sing - or just enjoys listening – at what is billed as ‘a sing-along voyage from Cork to Galicia.’
