Centre for Irish Studies, University of Galway Facebook Post
Last Wednesday, the sun finally shone in Galway this week, we like to think in honour of Dr Anna Falkenau as she submitted the final copy of her PhD thesis to the university library. “‘It was in the Air’: Micro and Macro Flows in the Changing Soundscape of Irish Traditional Music in Galway, 1961 to 1981” investigates the emergence of a vibrant Irish traditional music scene in Galway City and explores changes in its soundscape, from 1961 to 1981. It presents a highly original understanding of Galway’s cultural world, placing Irish traditional music at the root of Galway’s emerging festival culture during these decades. Míle comhgairdeachas, a Anna!
