The Harp That Once Through Belfast’s Halls – Moya Cannon

Our April 2026 edition of Harp Perspectives is now online at www.harpireland.ie/resources-online-journal/

This month we publish an essay by renowned poet and member of Aos Dána, Moya Cannon, to mark Belfast City Council’s purchase of the historic Assembly Rooms – the original location for the gathering of harpers in 1792 – where Edward Bunting was to capture the richness of our harping legacy for posterity. We are also honoured to have Moya’s permission to reprint Bunting’s Honey, her poem commissioned from CÉHI for the 2022 Harps Alive | An Chruit Bheo | Harps Leevin Festival.
