Posted byJohn McCormack SocietyPosted inNews

We’re delighted to welcome the return of our Vice-Chairman, David Clarke, for another one of his excellent talks that feature recordings from the wellknown to the obscure. A few new gems are always unearthed.

Although the title suggests the selection of music with be focused on the Irish tenor, this is not so. David’s talk will also include pieces by contemporary artists of John’s, and artists that were great admirers of his and who enjoyed successful careers of their own.

Some of the singers that will feature include Claudia Muzio, Paul Robeson, Richard Tauber, Luigi Alva, Canon Sydney McEwan, Nelson Eddy, Beniamino Gigli and more.

Our latest talk takes place on Saturday 12th October at the usual venue, Buswells Hotel, Dublin. Kick off will be at 11am and all are welcome to join us. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available as usual.
