The Stone Sessions are new musical evenings showcasing beautiful sounds and stories of craftsmanship curated by Cultural Producer Laura Larkin.
These events will take place all over Ireland, showcasing Irish musicians, makers and storytellers of all kinds in heritage buildings and historical sites on the island.
Each session will highlight different skills and traditions alive here in Ireland that connect us to and reflect our heritage in tangible and intangible ways.
Throughout the series, various makers will showcase and speak about their craft and tell stories about what led them to create, bringing us into evenings of dreamy music, stories or poetry. It will always be special, something to hold onto in your memory and warm the heart.
The series launches in Johnstown Castle Ballroom this Autumn and will take place during Culture Night on Friday 19th September at 7pm.
Wexford based indie dream rock group Frankenstein Bolts will play on the launch night in the castle – bringing a very unique, intimate musical experience to the people of Wexford in this mystical setting.
