Returning Weather - Christine Tobin at The Dock

'Returning Weather' is the latest work from Dublin-born multi-award-winning vocalist and songwriter Christine Tobin. Christine was commissioned to write this evocative new song cycle by The Dock Arts Centre, with an Arts Council, Music Commissions Award. 

Christine will perform with Cora Venus Lunny (violin & viola), David Power (uilleann pipes & whistles), Phil Robson (guitar & electronics), and Steve Hamilton (piano).

Celebrated for her versatility and nonconformist musical spirit, Returning Weather imaginatively weaves song, spoken word, visual effects and a stellar group of musicians from diverse disciplines together, creating a multi-dimensional sound-world which blends influences from folk, 20th-century art song and jazz. It charts a journey which is part homecoming, part memoir, inspired by Christine’s return to Ireland after many years abroad and explores themes of finding home, dwelling and landscape, reconnecting with a cultural background, reshaping a sense of identity and belonging. The songs are set in the countryside around Frenchpark, Boyle and Ballaghadereen. There are many songs of leaving and farewell, this is the music of homecoming and return.
