Caoilte's Tales - The Fianna Saga (Irish Mythology Podcast)
Conas taoi? How are ye? Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, where we tell Irish myths set to original music.
In this episode, we continue our series on the Fianna, the Fianna Saga. This story focuses on the thin grey man of the Fianna, who outlived the rest of the Fianna and became a legend in his own right. Caoilte has many stories, and we have told a few of them before in a live show recording in episode 102. So we decided to tell a trio of tales that he was heavily involved in. With the backdrop of the hall of the Kings in winter, settle in to hear Aron tell these tales to warm up our appetites for the Spring to begin.

We are a group of storytellers, performers, and musicians. We tell Irish myths to a live audience with live music.
Candlelit Tales was founded by brother-sister storytelling duo Aron and Sorcha Hegarty. Driven by a passion for Irish mythology, we started retelling the stories to a near-empty room upstairs in a Dublin pub one rainy evening in November. The next week, the room was a lot less empty, and we were joined by musician Ru O’Sé. By the fourth week, the room was full, and so was the hall outside. We realised that when we share our passion, it becomes contagious. And we’ve been telling stories and playing music from that day to this.
Since then, over the past five years of telling stories in the capital of this nation of storytellers, we have developed and refined our uniquely expressive, naturalistic and modern style. Live music is the heartbeat of all our performances, and a live original music score composed by a team of talented musicians drives the rhythm of the stories
