Tinteán

An exclusive line-up of outstanding Irish and Australian artists come together for a celebration of Irish influence in Australia.  Paul Kelly, Shane Howard, Pauline Scanlon and many more create a rich tapestry of stories, imagery and music in honour of the Irish exiles.

There is no denying the impact of the Irish looms large in Australia; the convicts and political prisoners, the rebels of the Eureka Stockade, the Fenian Catalpa rescue, Ned Kelly, Daniel Mannix’s anti-conscription campaign and Paul Keating’s Redfern speech.

Through abundant literature, poetry, art, music, dance, and a keen hunger for justice, the Irish spirit has stamped itself on the evolving culture of Australia, where a quarter of the Australian population claim Irish descent.

Celebrate the rich and enduring culture of the Irish in this stirring concert event.
