MUSICAL THEATRE. Monday 27th September @ 8.00pm. Seán Tyrrell - Message of Peace                              Message of Peace tells the amazing story of a lesser-known Irish hero John Boyle O’Reilly: visionary, poet, rebel, freedom fighter, and civil rights activist. Galway troubadour Sean Tyrrell traces his journey from early childhood set against a backdrop of famine, revolution, Fenianism and penal servitude for life in Australia and his great escape from there to the USA, weaving effortlessly between narrative, instrumental and song as he traces O’Reilly’s colourful life. Since the 60s, Seán Tyrrell has been a potent musical presence on the Folk/Trad scene, with a string of acclaimed CDs and collaborative projects to his name, including The Orchard, Cry of a Dreamer and The Midnight Court. A double CD of Message of Peace was released last year. This project has received funding through Deis, the Arts Council’s Traditional Arts Initiative.
