Irish Folk Music may be most often-celebrated for its ability to whip up the energy at a party, its rebel-rousing, or for its bawdy humour; but there is so much more to our tradition of story and song. Join us on this truly unique tour. This tour is now only available as a private tour.
Original Dublin Presents
A unique saunter through Ireland’s musical heritage, our Dublin Musical Tour delves into the history and stories of Dublin and Ireland through song and Irish Music. Led by an accomplished local balladeer and raconteur, this most original walking tour will have you enthralled, engaged, and singing your heart out!
The musical tour of Dublin guides you through the history of Irish music and Dublin City in an accessible and good-humoured style. You will hear stories of Dublin’s 18th Century dens of iniquity in an area known as ‘Hell’, hear songs from Dublin with roots as far back as the 9th Century, and get a fascinating insight into the role of music in creating an Irish identity, driving a cultural revolution, and the contemporary Irish music & folk scene.
You are encouraged to sing along with the ballad booklet provided. These booklets can also be taken home after the tour!
This tour is now only available as a private tour.
