Erins Songs - A Shared Legacy. Album launch

Launched as part of Culture Night in 2012, the launch of 'Erins Songs - A Shared Legacy' is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for Sean Smith.

A lifelong interest in the work of Thomas Moore, and in particular 'Moore's Irish Melodies' of which this CD is a collection, led to Sean recording this CD.

The CD was recorded through a Kildare County Council Bursary in the Platform4 Audio and Digital Media Studio, and the project has been continually supported up to completion by Eoghan Doyle, Assistant County Arts Officer with Kildare County Council. For further information on Kildare County Council Arts Service, including information on grants, visit www.kildare.ie/artsservice

The CD was officially launched on Saturday the 22nd of September 2012, by Mayor of Kildare Cllr Micheál Nolan, and featured speeches (listed below) along with a recital by Sean, accompanied on keyboard and Harp by Geraldine and Anne.

All of the proceeds from the sale of the CD will be donated, including any future sales, to the Sue Ryder Foundation, further information about the Sue Ryder foundation can be found on www.sueryder.org

The launch also featured speeches from:
Claire Hickey OPW, Castletown House
Donnacha O'Dualaigh, presenter RTE
Siobhán Fitzpatrick, Librarian, RIA
Charles McDonald, Sue Ryder Foundation
Eoghan Doyle, Kidare Arts Service
