HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The Roundwood and District Historical and Folklore Society would like to invite you to our next talk on the 26th April.
The evolution of the music of folk – Jim O’Neill
Jim O’Neill is planning an interesting evening of diversion exploring this topic and especially the Wicklow influences on music. He has been a Musician and Broadcaster for most of his professional life and started piano studies at the age of five. Jim went on to study for a music degree whilst branching out to other fields in music. In 1978 he embarked on a broadcasting career which has spanned over four decades in Ireland, the UK and South Africa. Currently living in Roundwood, his passion for music and radio remains ardent. He feels the best years are still to come!
The talk will be given via Zoom, please register your interest to the society’s email: roundwoodhistorial@gmail.com
Just a gentle reminder for those of you who have not paid your annual subscription, this can be now paid via our website, or by cheque or cash to our Treasurer John Pearson, many thanks for your ongoing support.
The society would welcome your ideas for future talks, tell us what you would like to know about and we will do the homework.
We are now making plans for our 2021 journal, if anyone has a story to tell we would love to hear from you.
PERSONAL ALARMS
The Roundwood and District Community Council are registered to administer the senior alert scheme which provides grants to elderly people towards the provision of personal alarms.
