Stories and Songs of The Seanchaí

Colin Urwin is a modern-day Seanchaí - a folksinger, songwriter, storyteller and author.

Steeped for a lifetime in the language, folklore and traditions of his beloved Glens of Antrim, Colin has long been exposed to traditional Irish and Scottish music, song and story. He is most inspired by the people and places, the history and legends, and the sheer, rugged romance of the northeast coast of Ireland. From these he conjures up many of his beautiful ballads, magical rhyming monologues and delicately woven tales of wonder.

This concert is supported by Ards and North Down Borough Council as part of its 'Leid AND Lairn' programme of Ulster Scots events.
