Watch ‘A Meitheal for Molly’

As part of the Something In The Water Festival, over 200 members of the Headford community took to the stage to showcase their various interpretations of the historical harp tune, ‘Mollaí San Seoirse’ (Molly St George). The song tells a story of unrequited love for Molly, the patroness of the Heritage Lace industry.

This intergenerational project is an excellent example of what a community can achieve when they come together to explore their creativity and celebrate their shared heritage.

Both this film and project were proudly supported by Galway County Council‘s Creative Ireland programme. For more information on the programme and to apply for funding see https://www.galway.ie/en/services/arts/creative/
