The Leitrim Larks Project

Leitrim has a rich and varied tradition of song which has been passed down through generations. While some of these songs remain well known, many are no longer performed and survive in manuscripts and archives.

In 2022 The Leitrim Larks Project was led by renowned traditional singer Fionnuala Maxwell, with the aim of celebrating, rediscovering, and reviving traditional songs from Leitrim by engaging both established singers across the County and by engaging and facilitating individual members of the public from across the County to discover and sing these Leitrim songs.

The Leitrim Larks Project is a Leitrim County Council Heritage Project, funded by Creative Ireland.
