of the museum/library at Teach Synge.

(indoors if it's wet), staring at 1.0 pm.
It will last for an hour or so, followed by a music session –
musicians welcome.
Performers will include
Sabina Higgins, Mark Kennedy, Geri Slevin, Noelle O’Hanlon,
John Arden, Margaretta D'Arcy, Donnacha O'Faolain, Peter Ryan and others.
