ITMA is delighted to present Drawing from the Well 2021 Episode 4, a video featuring the Dublin singer and instrumentalist Daoirí Farrell exploring the life and songs of Kathleen Behan (1889–1984).
Best known as the mother of playwright Brendan Behan, and singer, song writer Dominic Behan, Kathleen Behan (née Kearney) came from a family rich in song, and the traditions of Dublin. She lived through the Easter Rising of 1916 and carried with her a vibrant spirit which she passed on to her children.
