History of Boyle Singers' Circle

Boyle Singers' Circle was set up in September 2006 by Breege Duffy and Helen Grehan, with the support of Clare McGuirk, Clíona Ní Shúilleabháin, Eugene Handley and Tony Moore. It has been meeting on the 3rd Saturday of every month (including the Summer months) since it started. It's an informal group, there's no membership and no cover charge.

The core group has expanded over the years since the Circle began and along with local performers regularly includes singers and other performers from Strokestown, Elphin, Sligo, Knockcroghery, Leitrim and further afield.

The singing is solo, mainly traditional English and Irish songs and mainly unaccompanied.
