Conradh na Gaeilge Learpholl, in partnership with the Liverpool Irish Festival, are pleased to present the third annual Tony Birtill Lecture.

On 21 Oct 2021, Liverpool (and Ireland) lost a great Irish Language supporter; Tony Birtill. His invaluable contribution to the conservation, promotion and teaching of the Irish Language on Merseyside will be remembered for many years to come. A Gaeilgeoir (fluent Irish speaker) and walking enthusiast, Tony was also a keen historian and language activist.

Enter to music from Tony’s friends, in a space he knew all too well. This year’s memorial lecture: Frongoch University of Revolution will be, fittingly, delivered by Gwyn Siôn Ifan, Welsh/Irish language activist and Tony’s close friend from the Welsh language society.

Join us for what promises to be a very interesting talk.
