The Banshee of Bishops Street
Date: 28 October 2025 - 30 October 2025
Venue: Bishops Street, Derry
At the top of Bishop’s Gate, the ghostly figure of Bean Chaointe—the keening woman of Celtic legend—emerges with a chilling, mournful song. This 15-minute performance blends haunting vocals with live, improvised music, as a professional singer and two musicians bring the Banshee to life in a powerful, atmospheric experience that echoes through the City of Bones.
