Nightvisiting - Songs & Stories From The Hearth
2022-09-18 20:00 (Europe/Dublin) | Strokestown Park
The National Famine Museum, Strokestown Park, is proud to present this specially commissioned event with Lisa Lambe one of Ireland’s best-known performers. Described by the Irish Times as “The finest singer and actor of her generation”. Lisa has recently completed a M.A in Irish Folklore in association with the National Folklore Collection.

Lisa has been commissioned by the National Famine Museum to share her work on the tradition of ‘Nightvisiting’ or The Rambling House, to create a special gathering of song and local lore for Strokestown House.
Reconnecting us to the role that night-time social house visits played in our oral traditions and in the preservation of our songs and stories, this project will culminate in a magical and intimate evening of songs, storytelling, music, around the hearth of the famous Gallery Kitchen in Strokestown House.
In this version of Night visiting Lisa will be joined by collaborators, and renowned musicians; Roscommon-based fiddle player Sean Regan and guitarist John McLoughlin, alongside contributions from other guests on the night.

In Informatics, dummy data is benign information that does not contain any useful data, but serves to reserve space where real data is nominally present. Dummy data can be used as a placeholder for both testing and operational purposes. For testing, dummy data can also be used as stubs or pad to avoid software testing issues by ensuring that all variables and data fields are occupied. In operational use, dummy data may be transmitted for OPSEC purposes. Dummy data must be rigorously evaluated and documented to ensure that it does not cause unintended effects.
