SUMMARY:Macdara Yeates and Jennifer Reid
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special performance featuring Macdara Yeates and Jennifer Reid trading ballads and broadsides on related topics to illustrate the shared cultures of Dublin and Manchester and the song traditions that would have been active in the two cities in the industrial revolution. \nMacdara Yeates is an Irish folk singer. Born and raised in Dublin\, Yeates is one of a crop of artists associated with the recent resurgence of young folk talent in the Irish capital\, alongside acts such as Lankum\, Ye Vagabonds\, and Landless. In 2012\, Macdara became a founding member of The Night Before Larry Got Stretched\, a monthly Dublin folk gathering\, counting such luminaries as Lisa O’Neill\, Ian Lynch and Radie Peat (Lankum) among its earliest attendees. Following the release of Traditional Singing from Dublin\, Macdara was nominated for two RTÉ Radio One Folk Awards\, including a nomination for ‘Best Folk Singer’ alongside Ríognach Connolly\, Cathy Joran and Christy Moore. \n‘Macdara Yeates is a mighty chanter‘ – Christy Moore \nJennifer Reid is a performer of nineteenth century Lancashire dialect and Victorian broadside ballads. Folk music has lost its way\, and people have lost track of their geographical heritage. The working classes made music as a provocation and this is a tradition Jennifer continues. \n\n“Lancashire dialect and Victorian Broadside ballad singer Jennifer Reid is brutally honest\, powerful and authentic. Reid deserves our attention and embodies the gritty\, honest truth of folk music. Reid reminds us that the streets\, pubs and alleyways is where folk lives and not behind the glass of the studio.” – Folkmylife.co.uk \n\n\nJennifer plays the character of Barb in Shane Meadows’ period drama The Gallows Pole. She has supported Pulp\, John Cooper Clarke\, for Chanel’s prestigious Metiers d’Art show\, and is in the second year of touring with Eliza Carthy. In April 2025\, she toured Aotearoa’s north island to critical acclaim and rave reviews. \n\n\n‘She is singing our belonging to our land\, history\, ancestry\, with streetwise modernity’ – Casey Orr \nFree – drop in \nPlease consider making a donation if you can here or at one of our cash or contactless donation boxes in Central Library
