Irish sons and daughters
We remember you '

'Sing a Song for Ireland ' is a show sharing the story of the Irish in Australia

It is a story that stems all the way back to the famine. It explores the reasons behind early emigration to Australia and incorporates traditional and contemporary Irish songs

As a daughter of Irish parents - I believe that we are the keepers of the story now and that we have a duty to remember and to keep telling the story. The show has been performed throughout Australia to wonderful reviews.

If you, your festival, community, or parish would like to experience the show 'Sing a Song for Ireland' please call Maria on 0411158593 or email mariaforde1@gmail.com
