Quiet Revolutionary: The Life of Éamonn Ceannt
About this episode
This episode explores the life and significance of Éamonn Ceannt in the context of the Easter Rising and his contributions to traditional music.
With the 110th anniversary of the Easter Rising upon us, it seems a good time to look at one of the less familiar figures of the story. Somewhat in the shadows, Éamonn Ceannt was a meticulous organiser, vitally important not only to the revolutionary movements of his time but traditional music too. His Dublin centred on Rialto, Dolphin's Barn, Crumlin and the surrounding areas, and in this episode we learn about Ceannt's importance to the story of 1916.
