The project set about re-introducing Leitrim songs and ballads and celebrating our natural and unique voices. Initially, Fionnuala facilitated a series of \u00a0workshops and challenged 6 singers from around the county to learn a song that she had sourced from their locality and to pass it on to a singing circle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\">Now in its&#8217; new phase, the group hopes to &#8220;take flight&#8221; and offer a more creative experience by inviting and engaging with other experienced artists. For the Little Larks, this will involve a series of workshops\/singing circle events which will allow the children to explore traditional songs, singing and song writing in a creative way. For the adult group this will be more opportunities to engage with or explore their own creativity by liaising with other artists and connecting with traditional singers and researchers from other counties. Exchanges with other singing circles, working with international communities and finding common ground with other practices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\">The Larks meet regularly\u00a0at the \u201cLend an Ear\u201d sessions which pop up on a monthly basis in random locations throughout the county \u2013 their aim being to have an inclusive space where people can share songs, stories, written work or just listen \u2026 and there have been a few tunes and dances so anything can happen !\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\">See the fb link below for the next session !<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":32459,"template":"","class_list":["post-32458","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Leitrim Larks Taking Flight - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"\u00a0 \u00a0The Larks started out as a project lead by traditional singer Fionnuala Maxwell in conjunction with Leitrim Heritage and supported by Creative Ireland.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/leitrim-larks-taking-flight\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Leitrim Larks Taking Flight - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u00a0 \u00a0The Larks started out as a project lead by traditional singer Fionnuala Maxwell in conjunction with Leitrim Heritage and supported by Creative Ireland.
