Fiddlebox and writer David Thorpe went to New Ross, County Wexford last week to develop and perform the Irish immigration drama with Sean Reidy. The show went really well, and featured Irish dancers and the great vocal harmonies of Barrowside as well as us. We are planning several performances in Ireland, Wales and France next year.
