Tales of Tuatha Dé Danann

Faoi gheasa, téann Diarmuid sa tóir ar Ghráinne agus téann Fionn agus na Fianna sa tóir ar an dís. Buaileann siad le chéile fá dheireadh ag Doire Dhá Bhoth ach ní mar a bhí Diarmuid ag súil leis a chríochnaíonn rudaí.

The chase begins  Under a spell, Diarmuid pursues Gráinne and Fionn and the Fianna pursue them both. They finally meet at Doire Dhá Bhoth but things don't go as Diarmuid expected.

I'm delighted to bring you a very special podcast today, showcasing an incredible project I had the privilege to be part of. In January 2023, I spent an unforgettable week at the stunning Crear Centre in Argyll, Scotland, collaborating with a talented group of storytellers, musicians, and singers from Scotland and Ireland - Mairi MacMillan, Mhairi Hall, Martainn McIntyre, and Eamon Doorley.
This inspiring project was organised by TRACS (Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland) with the generous support of Colmcille and Bórd na Gáidhlig. Together, we explored Laoithe na bhFiann—the Fenian Lays: a treasure trove of poems, songs, and stories about the Fianna, which were once sung and recited across every county in Ireland. Also known as Ossianic ballads, these lays have deep roots in Scotland as well.
While the melodies associated with these lays have all but disappeared in Ireland, they remain widely preserved and celebrated in Scotland.
Find out more about this fascinating exploration in the podcast—enjoy!
