Music at Marrowbone Books: Alan Woods
In this month’s music podcast, Alan Woods shares his deep knowledge of traditional music, with songs from his County Leitrim, and the tales behind them.
Listen in on an evening of music at the bookshop in The Coombe in Dublin’s south inner-city.
At this month’s event, the traditional singer Alan Woods performed an unaccompanied set of traditional songs, punctuated with readings from the flute player Seamus Tansey’s book, The Bardic Apostles of Innisfree.
If you missed him this time, you can also catch Woods on Dublin Digital Radio, and in the back room of the Cobblestone pub in Smithfield.
