Re-fashioned jewellery, the Irish harp and Elvis Presley are to be found in the heart of Ulster
I’M REALLY looking forward to the third episode of Croí Uladh le John Toal tonight because I’m especially interested in the history of the harp and in tonight’s programme, John meets harper Lauren O’Neill in Glenullin to learn more about the historical link of the Irish harp with this area in county Derry. Lauren helps John get a handle on a few chords before meeting musicians Aoibheann and Déaglán who fill him in on some of the history of the famous Ulster harpists and the effort they went to to keep this intricate and magical instrument alive.
