Omslag till Lillis ? Laoire & Sean Williams: Bright Star of the West (ePUB)

Bright Star of the West examines the life, repertoire, and influence of Ireland’s greatest sean-nos (old-style) singer, Joe Heaney (1919-1984). Best known for popularing this form of Gaelic a cappella folk song in the United States, authors Sean Williams and Lillis ? Laoire reveal the ways in which Heaney’s life story demonstrates the intertwining of music with political memory and cultural understanding.
