Voices of Celtic Women

An interactive programme of ancient and modern music, story and verse with songs in English, lowland Scots and Gaelic. The focus of the programme is the many faces of women in Celtic folklore and song, ranging from the lullabies and ballads where we hear of women's troubles, hopes and longings, to the energy-giving working songs which accompanied daily activities

This programme  was developed in cooperation with the VHS Herten in the context of the Women's Cultural Festival in Herten
