The Unseen Army composed and performed by me as part of ‘As It Happened’ – Decade of Centenaries.
Nine Leitrim artists were commissioned to create work in response to events in the county from 1921.
Filmed in St. James’ Church Dublin, I was joined by Brian Ryan & Katerina Speranskaya.
“As It Happened” is produced and filmed by Edwina Guckian and supported by Leitrim County Council & the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Mediaunder the Decade of Centenaries 2012-2023 initiative.
Later, I re-recorded the song with musician and producer Sean Sweeney, musicians Paul Gurney, Eileen O’ Brien, Enrien Lamcellari, Lorraine Sweeney and James Blennerhasset, mastered by Tom McElvogue and performed it for an Taoiseach Leo Varadkar at a reception in Dublin Castle to mark the end of The Decade of Centenaries Programme.
