Performance Notes | This charity concert and reception was organised by four Irish-Ireland Societies in London( Irish Self-Determination League, the Gaelic League of London, the GAA, the Roger Casement Sinn Féin Club) for the Dáil Éireann delegates attending talks with the British government which led to the Anglo-Irish Treaty.
Michael Collins was the Guest of Honour for this event.
The information printed on tickets for the concert, and in the programme, was partially in Irish including the Irish version of the delegates names believed to be the first time that the language was used in promotional material in the Royal Albert Hall.
Patrons were informed that a silver collection will be made during the interval. |
