- Nollaig Na mBan NY virtual celebration of Bealtaine 2020. Irish Echo Review. Irishecho.com/2020/05/bringing-light-into-darkness/ Singer/songwriter, John Munnelly’s “Candle in the Dark” was the perfect start to our virtual celebration. John didn’t have a pandemic in mind when he wrote the song, but hearing the chorus “everything is gonna be alright” must have sent a glimmer of hope to listeners: John followed with a passionate performance of “Angels’ Tears” and continued with “Oisean” which tells the tale of a return from Tír Na nÓG – the land of youth. The song fit the occasion because like Oisean, nothing will be the same for us when we attempt to return to the world as we knew it.
