Little John Nee

Following the introduction of restrictions as a result the Coronavirus pandemic, Earagail Arts Festival and An Grianán Theatre commissioned the renowned Donegal artist for a pop-up theatre tour which would see him perform in seven towns and villages around the county.

The Tilt of The Sky Tour would see Little John Nee visit a total of seven towns and villages from Malin to Gortahork, culminating with a sold out show on the lawns at Rathmullan House. The festival’s closing, physical event marked a real high for the artist, patrons and festival staff in what was a summer starved of social interaction and a full festival experience.

Film-maker Charlie Joe Doherty, who worked with the festival on a number of projects for the line-up of Srutháin (Small Streams) followed Little John Nee throughout this tour, with further aerial footage and photography from Rathmullan House coming from Declan Devlin.
