GlasDrum presents … New Sounds in an Old Place
On Friday October 5th 2018, Near FM recorded a night of intimate music and spoken word performance in the wonderfully atmospheric setting of St. John the Baptist church in Drumcondra.
New Sounds in an Old Place is a night of new and contemporary sounds, hosted up to 6 times a year and curated by the arts collective GlasDrum. The acts on the night were the spellbinding close harmonic folk styling’s of Ye Vagabonds, multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, and songwriter Dowry and Natalya O’Flaherty an emerging voice on the Irish spoken word scene.
In this special radio programme to be broadcast on Friday Nov 16th at 5.30pm, we will hear performances from all the acts as well as interviews with the musicians, the organisers and members of the audience.
