Notes & Narratives - Simon Chadwick
2025-07-17 20:30 - 22:00 | Na Píobairí Uilleann, 15 Henrietta St., Dublin 1, Dublin, D01 N504, Ireland
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.
This month’s speaker will be Simon Chadwick presenting a talk on “Traditional Irish Harpers through the long 19th century”.
For over a century, the standard narrative has been that the Irish harp tradition came to an end with the deaths of the old men who had gathered in Belfast in 1792. But a few years ago, Simon Chadwick discovered a traditional harper fitting brass wire strings to a harp in 1908. The information about this man’s lineage in the inherited tradition led to Simon’s all-encompassing research over the past few years: to uncover the lost or suppressed stories of the traditional harpers through the long 19th century.
Simon will discuss who these people were, how they learned the harp and how they passed the tradition on to the next generations; what their harps were like and what they played; and how they were marginalised and suppressed even as they were replaced by Gaelic revivalists playing classical-style lever harps. Simon will play some traditional Irish harp tunes, using a newly-commissioned reconstruction of a 19th-century traditional wire-strung Irish harp.
Notes & Narratives will take place at Na Píobairí Uilleann, 15 Henrietta Street, Dublin 1, starting at 8:30pm on Thursday 17th July 2025.
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 - Martin McGinley
2025-06-19 20:30 - 22:00 | Na Píobairí Uilleann, 15 Henrietta St., Dublin 1, Dublin, D01 N504, Ireland
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. This month’s speaker is fiddle player Martin McGinley presenting “The three lives of Hughie Gillespie.”
Martin McGinley takes a look at a fiddle maestro of the so-called ’78 era’ in Irish traditional music, Hughie Gillespie from Ballybofey, County Donegal.
Hughie was born in 1906 and his eighty years can be considered in three spans – his youth in Ballybofey and in nearby Cloghan, in the Bluestack mountains in Donegal; his decades in the States, when he was a close friend and pupil of the legendary Sligo fiddler Michael Coleman; and his return to Ballybofey in 1964 when he was in his fifties.
Come along and hear the stories and the music of a talented, resourceful and opinionated character, Hughie Gillespie, and try and answer the question – was he a Donegal Sligo fiddler?
Martin McGinley is a well-known fiddler and journalist who has taken a close interest in the fiddle music of his native east Donegal. He has already featured in the ‘Notes and Narratives’ series at NPU (Aug 2022), talking about the fiddler and piper Seán Reid, who was born in Castlefin. Martin has presented on the fiddler Tommy Peoples at the National Concert Hall (Oct 2023), and on ‘Fiddling in the Lagan’ to the Belfast Natural History and Philosophical Society (Dec 2024).
Notes & Narratives will take place at Na Píobairí Uilleann, 15 Henrietta Street, Dublin 1, starting at 8:30pm on Thursday 19th June 2025.
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.
