The Street Harpist
Sunday November 1 @ 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM
The Richmond Revival is delighted to welcome back storyteller and harper Conni Dawson for a special Samhain performance.
Conni’s storytelling combines speech, song, music, poetry and art to transport you to the world of myth and magic that lies just beyond the veil of everyday life.
Fermanagh born and Clare raised, Conni has always felt a deep connection with the whole island of Ireland and through her works seeks to highlight our shared history, heritage, and the community and connection we create through story, art and music. The old Celtic fire festivals are a special time of reconnection with this history.
The Celtic year starts on the 1st of November, with the dying sun and the darkening days of winter. At this time the Celts lit fires to ward off the darkness and disguised themselves to fool any malevolent spirits intent on harm.
Having previously visited The Richmond Revival on her annual Storylines tour, Conni will be returning this coming November 1st to entertain us with traditional myths and legends, keeping the ancient practice of the wandering Seanachaí alive.
Samhain is a time for gathering, for games, a watchful time as the veil between worlds thins and the Other Folk pass through. Conni invites you to join her for tales of the darkening of the year to remind us why we turn to the light.
