Derry guitarist and singer Dáithí Sproule has a large repertoire of songs that have come from friends, mentors, singers, and recordings over a lifetime of travels as a professional musician. In this class, Dáithí will share and teach some great traditional songs in English and Irish with an emphasis on singing them together and making up simple arrangements. It’s sure to be fun!

Having enjoyed presenting classes on Irish language poetry in translation, Dáithí Sproule now offers a 6-week course reading and sharing thoughts and reactions to poetry composed in the English language (mainly!) and drawing from his own area of the country — including poems from Seamus Heaney, Medbh McGuckian, Michael Longley, Leontia Flynn, Ciaran Carson and Cathal Ó Searcaigh.
