An evening of music and poetry will take place in Drumcliffe this evening to mark the 80th anniversary of the death of the Nobel Prize-winning poet W B Yeats.
Starting at 7:30pm in Drumcliffe church and graveyard, the event will celebrate Yeats’s life and works.
It’s organised by the Cos Cos Festival in partnership with Drumcliffe/Rathcormac Tidy Towns Committee and Drumcliffe Church of Ireland Parish.
Michael Kirby, one of the local organisers, has been telling Ocean FM News, how the event started:
Susan O’Keeffe, director, Yeats Society Sligo, says it’s a great example of local people coming together to celebrate the poet.
