Spiritual
and cultural heritage is the soul of every nation. Folk music
is an expression of that heritage.
Folk music has always been with us, it has always been a part
of us. In every townland and every village folk music has reflected
the individuality and the idiosyncrasies of the community that
produced it, yet from culture to culture we can all recognize
the common sounds and themes that have come down to us through
the ages.
Folk music
expresses our deepest emotions, sadness, hapiness, love and kindship.
It gives us a feeling of belonging to the present whilst connecting
us to the past.
But just as music expresses our love it can express our hate,
it can be a channel to question those feelings, and playing together
gives us the opportunity to learn from each other.
