September Harvest Songs

We’re back after the summer break on

THURSDAY 7th SEPTEMBER AT 9PM

ABBEY TAVERN, HOWTH

with HARVEST SONGS

hosted by Laurence Bond and Ann Riordan (pictured above from last year)

Please join us

and if you can, bring something for the Harvest Basket

which will be raffled on the night.

 

In remembrance of regular Declan Fay, who sadly died in the summer, here’s a song he would have sung at the Harvest session – Kris Drever with a song written by Boo Hewerdine, Harvest Gypsies, which was the title of a slim book by John Steinbeck detailing the plight of migrant workers in Depression-era California.https://youtu.be/56grtNzsRq8
