A chairde

Next Thursday in the Abbey Tavern at 9pm Ann Riordan hosts a special night for the HSC.

Singer and collector Jane Cassidy (Belfast) will launch Howth Singing Circle’s Young Singer in Residence Ruth Clinton’s “This Fearless Maid”, a booklet of songs recovered and annotated by Ruth. The songs, written before 1950, feature women in unusual and different ways than in many songs where women feature as unrequited lovers, grieving mothers or sweethearts, or as objects of desire. We are proud of Ruth’s diligence, imagination and meticulous research that has produced a special publication. She will sing some of the songs on the night.

So, please come along and celebrate the conclusion of our first Young Singer in Residence project and support Ruth in her endeavours.

May we also take this opportunity to thank so many of you who came along to make the Martyn Wyndham-Read and Gatehouse concert such a memorable night. A standing ovation speaks volumes but all the artists commented on the warmth and knowledgeable support they felt coming from the large attendance. From all at the HSC, sincere thanks to you all

June 2015

200th Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo

The next HSC will be on Thursday next 4 June at 9pm sharp

DOWNSTAIRS in The Abbey Tavern

Terry Moylan from Na Piobairi Uilleann – The Pipers’ Club will lead a night of songs

remembering the Battle of Waterloo

‘HE WENT THROUGH THE LOWLANDS LIKE THUNDER …’

Here is the Howth June notice for the event and also Terry Moylans song sheet – which at the end carries some HSC Club news. It would help if you could print off Song Sheets and bring them with you – or at least those songs you might sing. We will run some off but it is a bumper edition!

Finally, please forward this notice and its attachments to friends and those you feel would be interested.

Terry is expert in this field and it will be a very good night.

Thank you for your support
