The Parting Glass

How far would you go to have just one more day with someone you loved? If you had the chance to see them again, would you take it?   

Deborah Brennan features as songbird and storyteller in this heartfelt and moving show, featuring the music of iconic artists including Van Morrison, Sinead O'Connor and Colin Hay.

For anyone who has ever loved, lost, or loved again, The Parting Glass is a beautiful tale of grief, love and reconciling yourself to your past.   

Deborah Brennan is a musician, performer and choir specialist, who has worked for many years on the cabaret circuit, and also runs Bootleg and Park choirs. 

The Parting Glass is presented by Emma Knights Productions.
