Ulster Reciter: Ballads, Poems and Recitations for Every Occasion

Availability: Ready to download

Northern Ireland folk have a vigorous tradition of declaiming poems, ballads, and recitations from platform, dinner-table, or barstool. Now actor Joe McPartland, himself a dab hand at the declaiming, has compiled a lively anthology of the best of such offerings. The whole is attractively illustrated, making it a treat for Ulster reciters everywhere.
