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
