Declan O'Rourke's award-winning album 'Chronicles of the Great Irish Famine' was released to critical acclaim in 2017. Fifteen years in the making, this epic song cycle presents a series of extraordinary true stories from the most decisive event in Ireland's history. Now, the story of the Ó Buachalla family is expanded and woven into a powerful account of the famine as it happened through the lens of a single town and its inhabitants. This meticulously-researched, multi-layered work tells the story of Macroom's residents of all creeds and classes utilising local history, documentary evidence and recently unearthed correspondence to pay homage to lives gone by, contextualising time and place in a story that will stay with you forever.
