A reminder that as part of National Heritage Week 2019, 'The Curse Of Emigration: The Local Perspective in Song and Story' will be performed in Kilcullen Community Library this evening, Thursday  22 August at 7.30 pm, writes Brian Byrne.

This presentation, scripted and devised by Frank Morrow and friends, captures the hopes, dreams and heartbreak of Irish emigrants in song, music and the spoken word.

The music is great with some fine singers and all the old familiar songs take on a new life and relevance.

The production is presented in association with Kildare Library and Arts Service. Admission is free, everybody is welcome and light refreshments will be served.
