- **Event Description**: Ursula Burns and Fiona Gault unpack Irelands lost culture -Reclaiming the power of the ancient harpers, Expect lashings of Harp and BYO!About this EventBelfast Rebel Harp delves into the complex history of the Irish harp and its bards, exploring how their influential role as cultural custodians and political commentators was systematically suppressed and driven to the brink of extinction. Written by Ursula Burns (‘The Dangerous Harpist’) from Belfast, this hybrid non-fiction novella fuses storytelling, poetry, and sharp social commentary. Blending personal memoir with historical insight, it reflects both the troubled and romanticised aspects of Ireland. This is a passionate call to reclaim the lost oral and aural traditions of Ireland’s master harpers — and to reignite a culture that once moved kings, queens, chieftains, and warriors. Deeply rooted in the heart of Belfast, the book seeks to ground this ancient tradition in the city’s architecture and spirit as Belfast is on the cusp of reclaiming its powerful harping identity.Q&A SessionAfter the presentation, Fiona (Belfast literary scholar specialising in the work of Pádraic Fiacc) will host a question-and-answer session with the author.Expect Harp music from The Secret Melodies of Trees, readings from the book, and a Q&A session that unpacks the themes..Event DetailsCabaret seatingBring your own bottle (BYOB)Close to Botanic Station and Very limited street parking.Booking Essential
