Antelope Productions Presents MOTHERLAND : Songs of 20th Century Women performed by Edel Murphy (Celtic Woman, Riverdance) & live band.
Featuring evocative projected images alongside thought-provoking spoken word, Edel performs iconic songs of struggle and celebration from such songwriting greats as Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, Kate Bush, Nanci Griffith, Dolly Parton, and The Beatles.
Following extensive tours with Grammy winning shows Celtic Woman and Riverdance, Edel Murphy – singer, actor and musician – and live band, bring you through the Dustbowl of the Great Depression, into the homes of 1950s urban desperation, down streets of protest in the 1960s and into the tumult of the 21st Century.
“A poignant and socially relevant journey over a century of music. Edel Murphy owns these songs and the stage … the musical arrangements are masterful.” RTÉ Lyric FM
“An amazing show … Edel Murphy was stunning, the sharpness of her delivery was outstanding … I was blown away by it.”
– Dick O’Riordan, Business Post
“Edel Murphy haunts and soothes with a voice that would silence angels.”
– Chris O’Rourke, The Arts Review
“It is a rare performer that can bring a tear to your eye and a smile to your lips with the sweetness of her singing. Edel Murphy is such a performer.”
– Liffey Champion
