A summer of traditional song workshops
Aileen Lambert is a traditional singer from County Wexford who would love to share her favourite traditional songs with you! Here are a dozen songs which she and her daughters Nellie (age 10), Eppie (age 7) and Nan (age 5) have recorded so that you can sing along to.
Aileen delivers traditional song workshops with the Heritage in Schools Scheme - for more info see heritageinschools.ie and facebook.com/aileenlamberttraditionalsinger
This is my favourite song in the collection of 12. Enjoy everyone.

'The Song of Brigid's Cloak' - Traditional Song Workshop - sing along with Aileen and Nellie
This song was composed recently by Catherine Ann Cullen and relates the story of Brigid's cloak. When the King of Leinster offered to give Brigid only as much land as her little cloak would cover, the cloak magically increased in size - to the amazement of the King! It extended to cover the land which is now known as County Kildare.
Aileen and Nellie break the song down line by line and follows it with a sing-through complete with subtitles for ease of singing, so the whole family can sing along.
