Man, Woman and Child was a research and performance project devised and co-ordinated by artist/folklorist Michael Fortune and Aileen Lambert featuring traditional singers, Pádraigín Ní Uallacháin, Máire Ní Chéileachair, Anne Skelton, Gerry Cullen, Phil Callery and Alasdair Roberts.

The project ran from 2013 - 2015 and was based on The Child Ballad Collection: a collection of traditional songs collected by the American collector Francis J Child in England and Scotland between 1882 and 1898. Although many of the songs, or variants of them, are sung in the Irish tradition, no comprehensive study and performance of the ballads has been undertaken in Ireland prior to this.
