analysis of these crooked concoctions
Errigal Suite was commissioned by the Guitar Festival of Ireland with funds from Temple Bar Cultural Trust.
Research funding for the rest of these musical concoctions was provided by the Arts Council of Ireland through a traditional arts bursary.
Visual elements of this curious compendium were created by Lady Cecilia Walshe, formerly of high standing in society until she was wed to Dr. Flynn, upon which her reputation deteriorated considerably.
