Tracing The Migration Of Songs Between
Scotland & Ireland And North America

Tutor: Sara Grey

Scots and Ulster Scots have emigrated in such numbers that no other European Nation
has ever lost such a high proportion of it's people. In the early days these were men and women who left behind them a homeland rich in the oral tradition of song and ballad singing; an inheritance which they carried with them wherever they went.
Their legacy is apparent to this day.


Sara will trace the migration of songs from Northern Ireland and Scotland to North America by singing a song, or part of it, from its Celtic source and then singing the American or Canadian version showing the changes and the similarities. The workshop is interactive and informal and the participants are encouraged to sing on choruses and refrains, and ask any relevant questions.

At 103, Oldham Rd, Ripponden, HX6 4EB

£25 (£18 concession)

Highly recommended! Sara did a banjo and song workshop for us at the Lewes Saturday Folk Club in April 2011 and was excellent.

Having worked with Sara on several occasions, I have been continuously impressed by her knowledge and her ability to communicate and entertain. She was in this area in Arkansas, USA this fall and did several workshops at local colleges and has been asked to return. This is a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in traditional music and cultural patterns and particularly for anyone who performs traditional music in public.
