Lúnasa News.
Hello and welcome to a sun filled Lúnasa
newsletter!
The Lúnasas are spending much of the start of the
summer in the UK performing at theatres and festivals around the country and
hoping for good weather to make the road trips and outside gigs more enjoyable
for all...
This week also sees the national launch of 'The
Leitrim Equation' the album that marks the end of Lúnasas residency in
lovely Leitrim. The CD will be formally launched by RTÉ Arts Show presenter,
Vincent Woods in Dublin on Friday 15th May and the band will be joined by
special Leitrim guests to celebrate the launch.
We are all looking forward to Thursday's gig in
Strabane, it is our first visit to the Alley Theatre and hopefully not the
last!
