A Thank You For Supporting Seibo Concert
Seibo are hosting a free concert in thanks for the great support & kindness
we have received from the Parish & Parishioners of St. Ignatius Church, Tokyo. With the kind co-operation of Irish traditional musicians Seibo invite you to an Irish evening performance to be held at St. Joseph Hall.
Why Irish Traditional Music?
March is the month in which Ireland’s national saint St. Patrick is celebrated globally. In line with these celebrations we have organised an Irish-themed evening with an African twist!
THE PERFORMERS

singing techniques she now accompanies her song with the Irish harp.
Expect to hear songs in both the English & Irish languages.

harmony for songs. She is responsible for the Snare Drum
