Irish Myths &
Tales
The great mythological and legendary cycles of Ireland pre-date
the arrival of Christianity to that country, bringing the
listener into undiscovered lands of the imagination.
From the earliest myths of the Tuatha de Danann to the heroic
tales of Cú Cullain and Finn MacCumhail these stories reveal the
deep history of Ireland's mythic imagination.
In more recent times, the storytelling traditions of Ireland
have been kept alive by shanachies and common folk, for whom
storytelling was and is a vital aspect of community life.
When programming Irish tales, I enjoy combining the ancient and
traditional with the more recent and whimsical.
