CEOL CONNECTED presents The Far Field – Tradoodle TV

Over the months of May/June, join Ceol Connected’s Thomas Johnston (musician), Emma Fisher (puppeteer), and Thomas Baker (puppeteer) as they present a series of music and puppetry sessions for children ages 3+ and their families based on The Far Field show.

In this workshop, join Thomas Johnston ( The Far Field co-creator and performer) to sing some singalong songs that he has written especially for The Far Field sessions. You’ll also have a chance to listen to some music from the show, and dance with 🥕The Vegetable Patch Crew 🥕

The Far Field sessions @ Tradoodle TV draw on the show’s themes of fairies, folklore, and farming! The Far Field show tells the story of Lonán the farmer who one day discovers a magical whistle hidden in a hare’s nest. Suspecting that it belongs to the fairy folk who live at the edge of his farm, Lonán decides that the whistle should be returned to its rightful owners.
