About Eamon Sweeney
Eamon Sweeney began his musical studies on the violin, picked up an electric guitar during his teens, and subsequently studied Classical Guitar with Dr John Feeley at the Dublin Institute of Technology Conservatory of Music. While there he was exposed to the Baroque Guitar, inspiring his doctoral research into the 17th-century instrument and its variants. He continued his study of early plucked-instruments with Xavier Díaz-Latorre at Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya, Barcelona. Eamon teaches and performs extensively in a variety of genres – giving broadcasts, lectures, and seminars in his native Ireland and internationally.
Anna Newell created the world’s first BabyDay, introduced theatre for children and young people with PMLD (Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties) into Ireland and helped start baby theatre in South Africa. The shows are informed and inspired by their audiences
at every stage of their creation and have human connection at their very heart.
