Details
Mary of York tells the inspiring story of a young Irish girl in the 1850s who journeyed from a workhouse in Ireland to Fremantle in Western Australia in search of a new life. Her story reflects the courage and resilience of so many who have left their homeland behind, carrying hope into the unknown.
Written by Donna Marwick-O’Brien about her great great grandmother, Mary Ann Taylor, the song gently captures both the hardship and the humanity of that journey. With poignant lyrics that speak of love, loss, and survival, it offers a powerful reminder of the strength found in even the most difficult beginnings.
Mary of York has been performed for distinguished audiences, including the President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins, and was a much-loved feature of the One Big Voice Festival, resonating deeply with singers and audiences alike.
