Introducing The Crankie Island Song Project: an artistic archive of stories and songs from Ireland’s rich musical tradition. Celebrated singer Cathy Jordan, of traditional powerhouse Dervish, brings these tales to life with music, sound, and visuals, preserving them for future generations. Using a ‘Crankie box’ and featuring 32 songs, one from each county in Ireland, this project is a musical atlas of the island, highlighting themes of love, loss, rebellion, and revelry. Join Cathy, Claudia Schwab, Anna Heuston, Seamie O’Dowd, Rick Epping and Peter Crann as they blend haunting melodies with captivating visuals for an unforgettable experience.
