Mining Music

Join The Barn Ensemble, The Roundwood Set Dancers, and MC Pat Nolan, actor, for an afternoon of Heritage celebration exploring the rich musical and social history of mining in County Wicklow. This uplifting afternoon blends newly‑arranged tunes, archival research, community voices, and a few surprises as we bring to life the everyday experiences of miners and their families. We’ll also dig into the stories of some well‑known musicians with roots in Wicklow’s mining past.

Expect a welcoming atmosphere filled with live music, storytelling, poetry, dance, and shared heritage, as our ensemble weaves past and present together in sound. The event is suitable for all ages and perfect for anyone who loves local history, traditional music, or community arts.

And if you’re someone who loves to dance — bring your dancing feet; you’ll be in good company.

The event will be recorded.
