Toner Quinn / ‘What Ireland Can Teach the World About Music’

This event has ended

Farmleigh House & Estate, Saturday 11th May

How do we create a deeper public discussion around music? How do we support music in our villages, towns and cities? What can folk music tell us about our society? And what can Ireland teach the world about music?
For over two decades, Toner Quinn has been writing about these questions and more in the multi-faceted world of Irish music. In this book, he gathers a selection of his essays and articles.

From Martin Hayes to Jennifer Walshe, Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin to Sinéad O’Connor, and from the impact of the economic crash to the fallout from the pandemic, this collection provides a unique insight into Irish music in the twenty-first century.

Rich in ideas, ‘What Ireland Can Teach the World About Music' explores what makes this culture unique, and the challenges it faces into the future.
