Clé Abhaile – Dominic Behan in Songs and Stories
To mark the anniversary of Dominic Behan’s death in Glasgow on August 3, 1989, the Clé Abhaile Zoom session will celebrate Dominic’s unique talents as a singer, songwriter, playwright and activist in the company of Des Geraghty, Fergus Whelan and others.
Along with some of the songs made famous by Dominic, we will hear some episodes from his colourful back story including his rows with Bob Dylan and Liam Clancy, his friendships with Christy Moore, the Dubliners and Jimi Hendrix and his role in unearthing and popularising the song ‘Carrickfergus.’
The session will also include a general singaround for audience members who wish to contribute songs, tunes or poems related to Dominic and his family – or indeed any other subject.
To join the session on Monday, August 3 at 8pm (Irish time), please email info@cleabhaile.com for the links.
