Near FM present a three part documentary on Frank Harte, the Frank Harte Festival & An G\u00f3il\u00edn Traditional singing club.<\/p>\n

Frank Harte was a renowned traditional Irish singer & song collector. Every year since his death in 2005, the traditional singing club An Goilin has run a festival of traditional Irish singing in his honour. This documentary series captures a snapshot of this festival as it was in the year 2012 and provides the listener with an in depth look at the musical life of Frank Harte.<\/p>\n

We document the festival in chronological order with a programme documenting each day of the festival: Friday, Saturday & Sunday. This series profiles Frank Harte, captures the famous, intimate & unique An Goilin singing circle; fly on the wall atmospheric and historical walking & singing tours of Dublin, lectures as well as interviews with friends and family members. The centerpiece of the three day festival is a Gala Music concert from the Saturday night which features in programme 2 of the series.<\/p>\n

Frank Harte had a keen knowledge and sense of Irish history and in this series, through Near FM archive footage, we revisit Frank giving a talk in Coolock library in 1998 to celebrate the 1798 rebellion led by Wolfe Tone. Songs he sang such as Father Murphy, Dunlavin Green & Henry Munroe were born out of this period.<\/p>\n

A Near FM Production. Produced, narrated & edited by Paul Loughran.<\/p>\n

Additional production by Ruairi O\u2019Broin, Ken Tuohy, Zandra Ball and the late Pat Guerin.<\/p>\n
