Noirín Ní Riain, Cora Fenton & Eileen Sheehan present

Women’s Voices … Women’s Stories …

The Mall Arts Centre, Youghal, Co Cork on July 14th at 8pm !

Weaving magically and effortlessly between poetry, song, and drama Women’s Voices … Women’s Stories …celebrates and edifies the range of human experience from the tragic to the comic through to the spiritual.

Internationally renowned as a spiritual singer, Noirín’s repertoire ranges from the Irish Sean Nós to the songs of the German mystic Hildegard von Bingen. Noirín often focuses on the powerful songs of women accompanying some of her songs with the Indian harmonium and a series of drones. Eileen’s poems display a strongly-rhythmic voice which weaves through a backdrop of rural landscape and domestic interiors to explore the depths of life and relationships. Referencing myth and Irish folklore, her earthy humour has an underlying feminist twist. Cora uses her wide range of acting skills to bring to life characters from some of Ireland’s best-loved writers. Her repertoire is drawn from sources such as the plays and stories of John B. Keane and the writings of Paddy Kenneally. Many of her stories tell of the everyday madness of “ordinary” life. They contain dubious words of wisdom on topics that range in diversity from how to comport oneself on religious pilgrimages, to advice on diets and how to deal with the man in your life!

Join us for a performance that promises to uplift, entertain and inspire everyone, male and female, young and old, alike.
