Briege Murphy – Singer – Songwriter

Briege Murphy is a singer-songwriter from Co. Armagh in Ireland. Briege was reared in an area and family, steeped in traditional Irish music, and for many years was a member of the Comhaltas there. As a young mother, she began to write her own contemporary folk songs, which have been described as “having their roots in the tradition”. In November 2012, she won “Best female Bard” in the world renowned “Bard of Armagh” humorous poetry competition in Ireland, with a poem she composed “just for the craic”. Briege has represented Ireland in an international song-contest in Holland, singing one of her own songs, coming 5th out of 70 bands across Europe. She has also had one of her tracks included on a Northern Ireland Arts Council CD, and has won an award for her contribution to the culture of her country.

January 17, 2023, 7pm – 9pm
Strange Flowers: A Novel by Donal Ryan (author of The Spinning Heart which we read previously), published June 2021, 240 pp.
Donal Ryan’s new novel follows the Gladney family across three generations seeking the true meaning of what it is to find home and love.

In 1973, twenty-year-old Moll Gladney takes a morning bus from her rural home in Ireland and disappears. Bewildered and distraught, Paddy and Kit must confront an unbearable prospect: that they will never see their daughter again.

Five years later, Moll returns from London. What – and who – she brings with her will change the course of her family’s life forever. Beautiful and devastating, this exploration of loss, alienation and the redemptive power of love reaffirms Donal Ryan as one of the most talented and empathetic writers at work today.
