'Sweet Fire', Nenagh Ireland, Oct 6

Posted October 05, 2016

The first event of the Dromineer Literary Festival festival on October 6, is the highly acclaimed Íde na Tine - Tionscadal Joni Mitchell/Sweet Fire – The Joni Mitchell Project, hosted by the festival in association with IMRAM, the Irish Language Festival.

We will hear the very best of Mitchell’s songs translated into Irish by Liam Ó Muirthile and Gabriel Rosenstock and performed by singer Caitríona O’Leary and her band, with the addition of stunning screen projections of the lyrics, created by Margaret Lonergan.

Joni Mitchell has been described by Rolling Stone as ‘one of the greatest songwriters ever’. Her intensely poetic lyrics probe romantic themes of longing, joy and disillusion, as well as social and environmental concerns.

Sweet Fire – The Joni Mitchell Project takes place at St. Mary’s, Church of Ireland, Church Rd. Nenagh, October 6 from 8pm. Please note, you can book online by visiting the official website
