@yellowlabrador What about Waterford parish? St. Fin's Barre Cathedral? That would seem likely to offer at least monthly evensongs. I agree, I'm slightly spoiled here in NE Ohio (USA), but I helped make it happen by hammering the Dean and Rector of a nearby (30 mi.) large parish church. Even if it's a quartet doing plainchant, it's better than nothing at all.
@choirboyfromhell1 I really wish it was so easy. I live in a very rural area, we only have a church service every 4 weeks. Only 10 % of our local population is church of Ireland. A trip to cork would involve half a days travel on the bus and no way of getting home till the next day. Our church is tiny and we're lucky to keep the numbers reasonably up. Because of the population distribution a lot of people end up marrying out and becoming catholic.
@yellowlabrador That's tough, and I'm sorry to hear it. Rural Ohio is also slowly shrinking, along with "dumbing down" into fundamentalism. This genre is indeed threatened, but it is beloved. I hope you can relish it on the web. Check St. John's/Cambridge, which does weekly webcasts (I can't put links on this You Tube).
I hope you can sing...at least you can keep that tradition alive in the western pennisulas.....
Anyone know what translation of the bible, or else what psalter, is this sung from? it's beautiful!

@slaroche9 The psalter is from The Book of Common Prayer (1662).

@slaroche9 It's the Miles Coverdale translation, which is now widely distributed as part of the Book of Common Prayer.

@yellowlabrador You can still love it. Support a parish/cathedral that sings evensong near you.

@choirboyfromhell1 The nearest would be Dublin and that's about 5 hours travel from West Cork. A good job we've got the internets.
