Around-The-World Traditional Irish Music Relay
Around-The-World Traditional Irish Music Relay
We are in the planning stage of the World’s Biggest and Longest Traditional Irish Music Session.
It has been proposed that a Marathon Session will begin and end in Ireland having spanned the globe in a series of video link-ups with sessions in as many different countries and time zones as possible for an entire weekend of continuous Trad Irish Music.
Each session around the world will have a ‘live’ audio/video link-up with the session from which it is taking the musical baton !!! Musicans will then play continuously for an hour before passing over (again via Audio/Visual link-up) to the next session all of the way round the world.
The event will involve thousands of Trad Musicians in scores of sessions around the world.
The details and logistics are yet to be finalised for the event but it is hoped that we will have sponsorship from the likes of RTE, Arts Councils in Ireland (and abroad!), TradConnect, LiveTrad etc. etc.
Please share your thoughts and feelings on what should be an epic musical journey!!!
Best Regards
Frank Doherty
