Description

Irish-born folksinger Tom O'Carroll takes a musical journey that traces the history of the Irish people from the Stone Age to the present. Drawing on archaeological data, historical records, as well as music and song, Tom explores the broad social and cultural themes of conflict and identity that occur throughout his native country's history. In this presentation, Tom performs various songs, tunes and little known anecdotes that bring to life the story of the Irish.
