Laoise Kelly Drawing from the Well

In the December episode of Drawing from the Well Mayo harper Laoise Kelly explores the music of 'Hugh Higgins: A Harper in the Era of Enlightenment'. A Mayo native, Hugh played at the Belfast Harp Festival in 1792 and was documented by the young Edward Bunting, tasked to take down the airs from the harpers.

Laoise's video will premiere on ITMA YouTube, Facebook, IGTV and website.
