The Drogheda Singing Gathering will involve singers from every aspect of the Irish tradition and from Scotland, England and America. The weekend will be centred around a continuous singing session at the Droichead Arts Centre in Stockwell Street and at other venues in Drogheda town. It will culminate in a concert featuring local group The Voice Squad, the critically-acclaimed family group, the Unthanks, and the legendary figures of the English folk scene, Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy.
