What is the song of the past? What is the song of the present? What is the song of the future?

Orchard Songlines is a collaboration with Axis Ballymun, along with the extraordinary talents of composer Tom Lane and poet Jessica Traynor. We'll be working with young people in the community to collect memories and images of the past and present of Ballymun, tracing the shape of the place as it has been, and imagining the place as it might be in years to come. Orchard Songlines will culminate in three new songs written collaboratively which will be 'planted' with a new Orchard of heritage apple trees across the Ballymun Community. The trees will hold the songs and the songs will sing the story of the place.

November 4th - 15th in Ballymun, Dublin.
