About it
About Revolting People: Ulster Scots and the Birth of America The story of the Ulster Scots emigration across the Atlantic is an epic story of endurance and fortitude. It is the story of formative years and a tenacity which brought the United States into being. Horace Walpole famously told the Commons that 'Our American cousin has ran off with the Presbyterian parson'. At the forefront of the Revolution and at the vanguard of the development of the United States in its early years, this the story of the Ulster Scots or, as they became in America, the Scotch-Irish. Yet it is a story often overlooked. This performance, bringing together exceptional talent from the community, features music, song, dance, readings and drama. Featuring the fantastic group Stonewall Ulster Scots, singer Lisa Dawson, flautist Ami Ogilby, the Sir Henry Inglesby Fife and Drum and providing drama from the American frontier, the Dust Bowl days and much more, this is the retelling of an almost forgotten story: The story of the Ulster Scots and the birth of America.
