Jimmy Crowley and Eve Telford in concert at Inishowen Maritime Museum

The Inishowen Maritime Museum in Greencastle welcomes famed Cork singer Jimmy Crowley and Australian singer-songwriter Eve Telford, this Friday, September 29 from 7.30pm.
Jimmy is renowned for his championing of the songs of Cork and all things maritime. Eve and he have recently issued a CD of Ballads learned from Irish Travellers. The audience can look forward to salty yarns, songs that tell great stories and wonderful singing. His best-known songs are Salonika, Johnny Jump Up and The Boys of Fair Hill.

Two Irish authors on 2023 Booker Prize shortlist

Jimmy has been at the forefront of the folk scene in Ireland for over fifty years, as singer, musician and researcher; nobody knows more about the songs of Cork and its city. He has also sailed on the tall ship Asgard so his sea songs have real authority. He has made a lot of CDs, published several books, written a weekly newspaper column and written a ballad opera which was performed in Cork in 2017.

Eve is a recent graduate of Cardiff University and has adopted as her own the songs of Margaret Barry and Bess Cronin but writes also her own material. Her CD with Jimmy is her second.

Tickets are available through Eventbrite or at the museum and at the door.
