Summer 2013

The Percy French School, Roscommon, seeks to illuminate the considerable social significance of French’s song- writing, poetry, and paintings and their relevance to Ireland’s various ways of life today. The School has succeeded in attracting a wide range of significant authors, academics, politicians, and artists to lecture and perform. The range of lectures and events in the programmes to date reflect the broad spectrum of interests of its directors. Its Honorary President is the President of Ireland, Michael D Higgins.
