‘Nightvisiting’ reconnects us to the social role that night time social house visits once played in our oral traditions and folklore, and in the preservation of our songs and stories from tender love songs, to songs of loss and longing. In the West, ‘Nightvisiting’ is known as ‘Bothántaíocht’ or ‘Cuairtaíocht’, in West Cork and Kerry, it is known as going ‘Scoraíochting’. In other counties; a visit to the Rambling House.

‘Nightvisiting’ will bring you, to the hearth of the rural house, to sing the old songs and tell the local stories, many now lost or forgotten. Nightvisiting’ is a celebration and a reimagining of those nights of sharing the old ballad songs and stories by Lisa Lambe joined by some of Irelands finest traditional musicians
