Irish History in Song walking tour

Irish History in Song walking tour

I am a past member of Irelands oldest choir, the Palestrina Choir and have been staging Irish music history events since 2013, including Living dublin 1916 for RTE. Over the years I have developed a sincere interest in my cultural heritage and mixing this interest up with Irish and opera songs I tell Irelands story while walking through Dublin's city centre.

Our family really enjoyed Oisins tour. Lots of interesting stories, a whiskey tasting and a we ended the tour with a lovely Irish pub session at O'Donoghue's. A great experience!

Oisin has the most amazing voice and shared so much with us we never would have learned otherwise. This was a once in a lifetime experience.

Fascinating way to share the history and Oisin had a great voice and he didn’t mind us joining in. A fun and informative walking tour. Would definitely recommend it and would do it again. Thank you
