"Union Maid" Anne Feeney to Visit Ireland

category national | anti-capitalism | event notice author Saturday September 09, 2006 17:45author by D. Bree - Connolly Forumauthor email dbree at eircom dot netauthor address High Street, Sligo.author phone 071-9145490 Report this post to the editors

Anne Feeney, union maid, hellraiser, labour singer and award winning songwriter will tour Ireland from Friday 15th September. (Grange, Co. Sligo, Dublin, Galway, Belfast, Derry etc)

Anne says,

“I’m an activist, organizer, songwriter, folksinger, troublemaker and hellraiser from Pittsburgh, PA. I graduated from high school in 1968 and worked for a year to save up enough money to buy the beautiful Martin D-28 guitar that I still play.

The Vietnam war and the Civil Rights Movement shaped my conscience and consciousness. I worked for a dozen years or so as a trial attorney and served as President of the Pittsburgh Musicians' Union. I have two great kids, Dan and Amy Berlin.

...Now, I'm on the road 200+ days a year... all over the US and Canada, and more recently, Sweden and Denmark. If you're on strike, or in an organizing drive, or doing community organizing for women's rights, the environment, human rights, anti-poverty or anti-racist work, I want to be there.” says Anne
