Thank you everyone for your interest in my Living Dublin 1916 event for RTE. Maybe you will like my latest project of Glendalough Jewellery where I've used illustrations from the 12th Century Manuscript, Book of Glendalough to design a range of celtic jewellery. We have a stand at Showcase Ireland from 27th February to 2nd March in the RDS if you want to come along and see it in person.

Oisín Costello, former member of the Palestrina Choir, as his grandad was before him(as a 10 year old boy soprano!) at this pivotal time in Irelands history. This was an RTE sponsored event and focussed exclusively on the musical environment or soundscape as they are calling it these days, in which Dublin people lived. Monto is a song beloved of generations of Dubliners, most notably performed by Luke Kelly of The Dubliners.
