Fil Campbell:
The Irish Songbirds
Interspersed with stories about the women who first recorded these songs, The Irish Songbirds is a show that second and third generation Irish and their contemporaries will love, as well as countless Americans who simply love the Irish and their music.
Joined by traditional Irish musicians, Fil presents a strictly Irish experience which tugs at the heart strings, sets toes tapping, and occasionally brings a sentimental tear to the eye. This is a great show to consider for the Irish month of March, as well as all year round!
Campbell’s warm lulling voice is eminently suited to old fashioned
gems like ‘Love’s Old Sweet song’ and ‘The Homes of Donegal’
and the musicianship is top notch.

Fil Campbell has a gently commanding way with a song she draws
you in slowly until its a case of sweet surrender.

Fil Campbell has assembled a fine collection of songs
and given them effective, understated arrangements which
highlight her own intimate, lilting voice.

Straight from Northern Ireland, singer Fil Campbell presents her sensational new show, The Irish Songbirds. From the hit Irish prime time TV series of the same name, this show is built around many well known songs and old time favourite traditional pieces which formed Ireland’s musical backdrop in the 40s and 50s.
