A Terrible Beauty is Born – The Easter Rising, Ireland 1916

 

Thanks to all who came out to our show about the 1916 Irish Easter Uprising.

Alex Hancock was our narrator and Tom Kastle supplied the music with his guitar and concertina.

The Rising was doomed to fail militarily, but it – and the British overreaction to it – would spark a revolution that would see a free Irish Republic within six years.  A small group of people can make a difference.
