This tour is about learning Wicklows heritage through the songs depicting the stories.. from lands taken with deception, violence and guile, 1,000s deported for trivial crimes to build the colony of Australia, severely affected famine locations, evictions, estate owners availing of the famine to remove unwanted tenants and "square" their estates. I have staged Musical History events in Kilruddery House and Wicklow Jail and staged Living Dublin 1916 for RTE featuring classical, choral and traditional Irish music.

From Ken and Darcy Washington, USA – Driver Guide : Ben Your stories and history lessons were timely and interesting, your intuition to allow Darcy and I to spend certain times with just the two of us and also your intuitive timing on when to involve yourself, coupled with your sense of humour, made the trip more like spending a day with a friend vs. a driver guided tour. It is a talent to balance professionalism, comfort, flexibility and gentle guidance to ensure we got to see all we wanted to see (and change in the middle of the trip to make it even better) – all of this for a fair price.
