Kilcullen Liam O'Flynn commemoration concert

A music event in Fallons Back Room is being planned by Kilcullen Community Action to commemorate the life and work of the late Liam O'Flynn, writes Brian Byrne.

Ray Kelly told the March open meeting of KCA that details are currently being refined, and the event, at a date in May to be finalised, will include music written by the famed uileann piper and traditional musician, who died in 2018. There will also be a presentation about Dun Ailinne. 

The Kill-born piper was a frequent visitor to Kilcullen through the years, and in 2008 he was commissioned by Kilcullen Community Action to compose a piece to mark the dedication of the Dun Ailinne Interpretive Park. 'Dun Ailinne and the Clann March' was sponsored by Dr Tony O'Reilly of Castlemartin House, and debuted by Liam in Kilcullen Town Hall in 2008 during the dedication celebrations of the sculpture. 

A festival grant from Kildare County Council has already been allocated for the event.
