Four years in the making, The Speech Project is a ground-breaking collection of new musical works by Gerry Diver inspired by and incorporating recordings of the spoken word of seminal Irish folk musicians including Christy Moore, Shane McGowan, Paddy Moloney of The Chieftans, Joe Cooley, Danny Meehan and more.

Uniquely Irish, ground-breaking in concept and stunningly beautiful, The Speech Project is performed by musicians including Gerry Diver, with special guest Lisa Knapp, interacting live with the spoken word recordings of the musicians used in the recordings, and accompanied by specially commissioned videos.

Gerry Diver is a musician, composer and producer, born into an Irish family in Manchester and relocated to Ireland in his teens. He is a former member of Irish world music group Sin é and Shane McGowan's The Popes, as well as guest musician with among others Van Morrison.
