Journey of the Ulster Muse

​
 

A musical journey, from ancient times to the present, exploring crossovers and influences from near and far.

​

The journey explains how music was inspired and shared through migration of people and the movement of soldiers, sailors, wandering minstrels and harpers.

​

It is where traditional Ulster-Scots meets Irish, Scottish, English, and Old-Time Appalachian - before the Muse transcends and takes us to another zone.

​

It is where traditional flute, fiddle, bagpipes and traditional dance meets rock guitar and Lambeg drum.

​

Created and performed by Willie Drennan, with fellow Ulster-Scots musicians and special guest performers.
 

This stage show is set to tour theatres in Northern Ireland in autumn and winter of 2022/23

See Ulster Muse Page for more details.
