Just A Song At Twilight
A nostalgic night of popular Irish songs and stories from the 30s and 40s
Join Fil Campbell for this nostalgic and affectionate tribute to the Irish folk songs that generations of Irish grew up with, songs for singing along to, songs mainly from the Northern Counties of Ireland - a mix of popular Irish songs and stories from the 30s and 40s that were recorded by women like Delia Murphy, Ottalie Patterson, Rub Murray, Bridie Gallagher and Mary O’Hara.
The songs from Fil’s most recent CDs, Songbirds, Farewell to Cold Winter and A Place of My Own are guaranteed to have you singing along in chorus on songs like the Old Maid in the Garrett and Love’s Old Sweet Song, Let Him Go Let Him Tarry and many more old favourites. From Killyburn Brae to the Homes of Donegal, the Enniskillen Dragoons to the Wake in Kildare … Fil is joined by a full band and when venues allow, a video background from the Songbirds TV series and photos from the archives.
