Researched and created during her time as Artist in Residence at Ionad Cultúrtha an Dochtúir Ó Loinsigh in Baile Mhúirne, this powerful new work Lisa Lambe draws on the rich song and storytelling traditions of Múscraí West Cork, centred on the life and legacy of Bess Cronin, one of Ireland’s great tradition bearers.

Singer, folklorist and storyteller Lisa Lambe brings this remarkable world vividly to life through song, story and archive, weaving together original field recordings, a bespoke projected shadow animation of Bess by Emma Fisher & Beyond the Bark, and a rich live score performed with acclaimed Irish musicians Cormac de Barra (Clannad) and Kevin Corcoran (Villagers, Gavin Friday) on harp and piano.

This immersive and beautifully crafted production has already been met with warm praise from audiences, offering a moving, atmospheric and deeply resonant encounter with one of Ireland’s most extraordinary voices. Performed in English & Irish.

Briery Gap Box Office Hours | Tuesday to Friday 10am-2pm, and one hour before all events.

Accessibility Seating | All events at Briery Gap are wheelchair accessible. Contact our Box Office at 083 143 6884, or email boxoffice@brierygap.ie.
