Learn songs in ‘The Newgate Cant,’ a Pr*son slang used in the back streets of Dublin in this engaging class with Irish singer Macdara YeatesAbout this Event
Unravel the code of 18th century Irish songs written (either wholly or in part) in ‘The Newgate Cant,’ a Pr*son slang, in this 90 minute workshop with RTÉ Radio One Folk Awards ‘Best Folk Singer’ nominee, Macdara Yeates. Yeates will perform and teach ballads on public executions, the stealing of May bushes, and of one Dublin criminal's rise from the dead, and you'll come away with a wee bit of cant under your belt.
