RTÉ lyric fm goes to Bloom @RTElyricfm

Uploaded June 2011 | Updated September 2026, 17 hours ago

Over the June Bank Holiday Weekend 2011, lyric broadcast live from the Bloom festival from our own lyric garden. We were delighted to welcome lovers of gardens and music alike to enjoy the garden, the live programmes and, of course, the music!

$The Lyric Feature presents The Woods And Grandma Cal Folger Day shares the compositional process behind her verbatim opera The Woods and Grandma. She begins with a one hundred year old book of English folk songs collected by Cecil Sharp and the transcribed text of an RTÉ radio documentary Two Ladies of Galway and weaves the two together to create a new work from these unlikely bedfellows. Expect stories of Lady Gregory, Yeats and George Bernard Shaw as told by the Gregory granddaughters Anne and Katherine and then refracted through a new musical setting. This programme has been nominated for the Prix Italia 2019. Presented by Cal Folger Day Produced by Rachel Ní Chuinn and Eoin O Kelly$
