Local musicians and historians in Athy have been working together to uncover these hidden gems, hosting workshops and collaborations to bring these forgotten tunes back to life.

One such initiative is the upcoming performance at the Athy Music Festival, where musicians will be showcasing these rediscovered tunes to the community. The event is set to be a celebration of Irish music history, highlighting the beauty and intricacy of these melodies that have been waiting to be heard once again.

The efforts to rediscover lost Irish tunes in Athy not only bring a sense of pride to the local community but also contribute to the preservation of Irish cultural heritage. By shining a light on these forgotten melodies, musicians are adding new chapters to the story of traditional Irish music, ensuring that it continues to thrive for years to come.
