HISTORICAL SOCIETY
We have some more Zoom meetings lined up. Register your interest by sending an email to info@roundwoodhistoricalsociety.ie. A meeting password will be sent to you before the meeting. Our next zoom meeting will be on 26th April “The evolution of the music of folk” by Jim O’Neill. Jim will be known to many as a broadcaster and musician. He is planning an interesting evening of diversion exploring this topic and especially the Wicklow influences.
