Full disclosure here! My niece (Molly Crilly) who is a first-year college student composed the music for the play On Raftery’s Hill. Molly is also a brilliant fiddle player (among other instruments). I played backup guitar for Molly once at a school concert. Yes the audience was mostly kids and some parents but nonetheless I was terrified. Molly rocked it. Not a bother.
“A fiddler herself, she has captured the essence of this story in the soulful composition for solo violin. In the words of the director, Emily Thompson, the music is “exactly as I imagined it””
Molly will perform the music live during the performance on Friday 15th.
The play is on in the Droichead Arts Centre, Drogheda.
11-15 March @ 8 30pm

On Raftery’s Hill
Set in the midlands of Ireland, On Raftery’s Hill is a dark tale about three generations of Raftery’s who are at war with themselves and the ties that bind them. They live in a closely knit farming community where rumors of incest, stillborn children and madness are more common than love and affection. The family members all dream of escape however is their fate inevitable?
Presented by the wonderful Duleek Drama Players, the music for this production is composed by young composer Molly Crilly. A fiddler herself, she has captured the essence of this story in the soulful composition for solo violin. In the words of the director, Emily Thompson, the music is “exactly as I imagined it”
