Etched in Australian History…Celtic Tones

Are you all present? Have you signed the attendance sheet? Hope so, as you are getting ready for a history lesson with Brendan Graham and Tom Power on this week’s Celtic Tones show.

Brendan Graham provides the introduction to the Orphan Girl which is the basis for a telephone conversation with Tom Power.

Both are involved in an event enriching people’s understanding of the Memorial of The Great Irish Famine, placed at Hyde Park which has its 16th Anniversary this Sunday, 30th August 2015.

Tickets for the event at $10 and there is an optional contribution to the Outreach Program. Tom Power spoke briefly about these Outreach Projects which gives life and continuous purpose to the Memorial and all information about the two project can be found by clicking here https://irishfaminememorial.org/en/outreach/

All tickets for the event can be purchased through the link on the front page of the website or by search in Event Brite under the date and event, www.irishfaminememorial.org

If you are from an Irish background, interested in history or need a purpose to visit the park this weekend you might consider meeting me there from 12pm.

Because we all have a little Irish in us…
