Singing Session – Remembering Brían O’Rourke in song

Brían Ó Rourke was a beloved figure known for his humorous, witty, and poignant songs. Brían had a deep passion for the Feakle Festival, where he often shared his vibrant compositions. Brían Ó Rourke was renowned across Ireland and beyond for his invaluable contributions to the preservation of traditional song and his exceptional songwriting talents within that genre. He was also an accomplished poet, and in 1992, he published a booklet titled When I Grow Up, described on its cover as containing ‘jocoserious songs unaccompanied’. This special session will bring together family, friends, and admirers to honour his memory through song.
Hosted by Fear an Tí Con “Fada” Ó Drisceoil and will be joined by fellow singers Peter Casey, Mick Scanlan, Seán Mone and lots more.
