Ormston House announces two exciting events this June, bringing the talents of Ruth Clinton and Nathan O’Donnell to the city centre cultural space.
This Friday, June 14, Ormston House will host Ruth Clinton for a celebration of the publishing of her new book ‘This Fearless Maid 2’.
A highly anticipated follow-up to the 2016 release, this collection presents songs in a traditional or folk idiom, which challenge patriarchal power and feature women in active roles.

Rarely-heard Irish, English, Scottish, and American songs from the seventeenth century to the modern day will be presented in new arrangements for voice, strings, and synth, covering themes such as work, thievery, political struggle, and the supernatural.
This Fearless Maid 2 is published by Marrowbone Books, and copies will be available to purchase on the day.
The celebration continues on Saturday, June 22, with the launch of The Book of Invasions, a new publication by writer and artist Nathan O’Donnell.
As part of the River Residencies programme, over the summer of 2021, O’Donnell spent several weeks on the Tipperary shoreline of Lough Derg, exploring its history, ecology, and topography, all the while gathering stories about swimming on the lake.
The Book of Invasions is a record of this process, devised in consultation with local respondents and designed by Clare Bell. For the launch, Nathan O’Donnell has invited geographer Patrick Bresnihan to discuss the making of The Book of Invasions, including the residency on Lough Derg and the collaborations that made it possible.
They will talk about the experience of the residency on Lough Derg and the dialogues with swimmers and local historians through which a portrait of the lake and its community became clear.
They will also talk more generally about the different ways in which researchers – be they artists or geographers – might approach a body of water, exploring its history, its ecology, its culture, and its politics.
