We had a good turn out and an excellent selection of songs in March. George, Frank, Frances, Breege, Helen, John, Clare, Tony, Kevin, all in good voice. Eugene made a nod towards Brendan Behan's anniversary and sang the Captains and the Kings.

Cliona polished up (and off) how she could live at the top of a mountain and Táim corrtha ó bheith im' aonor. Welcome back Marion. Frances and Dermot stayed schtum, but maybe next time?

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 and changed over the years since the Circle began and along with local performers, it regularly includes singers and other singers from Strokestown, Elphin, Sligo, Knockcroghery, Leitrim and further afield.

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

Barry Gleeson: 2014 July 19th,

The Dublin singer, Barry Gleeson, will be the guest at the July Boyle Singers Session, on Saturday July 19th, 2014.

Barry, a former teacher, is a songwriter and singer. He's an active member of the Góilín Singers' Club in Dublin and travels widely to singing sessions and festivals. He has released several solo CDs over the years. His musical companions on his CDs are always of the finest. Barry invited The Voice Squad, who had sung on earlier recordings with him, to do a spot on his most recent CD and they credit their subsequent re-formation to this invitation. Barry has also influenced other musicians and the group Lynched have some of Barry's songs in their repertoire.

Come along and hear Barry at Dodd's on Saturday July 19th.
Free entrance.
