2024-02-15 20:30 - 22:00 | Na Píobairí Uilleann, 15 Henrietta St., Dublin 1, Dublin, D01 N504, Ireland
Conor Caldwell – “Garryowen in the morning: Hybridity in Irish traditional music“
As fiddlers and pipers began to adapt the Gaelic song airs on their instruments, the nineteenth century music collector George Petrie could not hide his disdain. For him, these musicians indulged in ‘barbarous licenses and conventionalities … often rendering even [the essential features of songs] undeterminable with any degree of certainty.’
But this development in Irish music would prove to be crucial in saving many songs from extinction in the context of the rapidly decreasing number of Irish speakers throughout the country. It is through this process that we can also examine the idea of hybridity in Irish music – tunes that exist in more than one state, such as ‘Garryowen’, ‘Paidín Ó Rafartaigh’ and ‘Bundle and Go’.
This talk examines hybridity in Irish traditional music, looking at evidence from the canon of British military music, Irish and Scottish collections, and taking into account the work of individual composers who began to exploit the commercial opportunities that emerged as music publishing boomed in the nineteenth century.
Conor Caldwell is a fiddle player from Belfast. He is currently an Assistant Professor in Irish Traditional Music at the University of Limerick.
Notes & Narratives will take place at Na Píobairí Uilleann, 15 Henrietta Street, Dublin 1, starting at 8:30pm on Thursday 15th February 2024. Admission is €10 (unwaged / student / retired €5). For those unable to attend in person, it will also be live streamed for free through our channel NPU-TV.

Notes & Narratives: Helen Lawlor
2024-01-18 20:30 - 22:00 | Na Píobairí Uilleann, 15 Henrietta St., Dublin 1, Dublin, D01 N504, Ireland
Helen Lawlor – “Emigration, Identity & Culture Building: Irish Symbolism in Irish-American Song Sheets”
From the mid 19th century Irish emigrants arrived to the USA in waves of post-famine emigration. Ireland almost immediately became mythologised and romanticised as the land now out of reach: physically, politically and emotionally. This talk and performance will trace the changing fate of the Irish as a socio-cultural and political group in the USA of growing importance through the mid 19th to early 20th century. Popular Irish symbolism including the harp and icons of Gaelic culture were adopted by song writers in Vaudeville, Tin-Pan Alley and commercial publishing houses to reflect on the Irish experience in the USA.
This talk will draw on the song sheet collection housed at the Princess Grace Irish Library, Monaco to illustrate the presentation of Irishness in the USA with performance of songs from the collection by Helen, Aido Lawlor & Conor Lyons.
Notes & Narratives will take place at Na Píobairí Uilleann, 15 Henrietta Street, Dublin 1, starting at 8:30pm on Thursday 18th January 2024. Admission is €10 (unwaged / student / retired €5). For those unable to attend in person, it will also be live streamed for free through our channel NPU-TV.

Terry Moylan – “The Establishment of a Tradition: The Quadrille in Ireland”
The Quadrille – a figure dance for four couples – arrived in Ireland in the late 18th century. For over 100 years it retained its original form in the commercial ballroom world, but soon after its introduction it “went native” outside that circuit, where it was not taught or moderated by professional dancing masters, and consequently evolved into multiple forms.
Notes & Narratives will take place at Na Píobairí Uilleann, 15 Henrietta Street, Dublin 1, starting at 8:30pm on Thursday 16th November 2023. Admission is €10 (unwaged / student / retired €5). For those unable to attend in person, it will also be live streamed for free through our channel NPU-TV.
Na Píobairí Uilleann presents Notes & Narratives – a series of monthly performance-based lectures on traditional music, song and dance by some of Ireland’s finest traditional artists.
Supported by The Arts Council.
