Festival of Voice: John Spillane – Songs We Learned at School

Festival of Voice is a weekend festival celebrating the power, beauty and universality of the human voice.

Acclaimed songwriter John Spillane presents a one-off family concert of his evergreen album Irish Songs We Learned at School. Featuring the songs we all learned and loved from An Poc ar Buile to Óró 'Sé do bheatha 'bhaile, Spillane presents his charming and expert take on this songs.
