Candlelit Tales Irish Mythology Podcast

De: Candlelit Tales
  • Resumen

  • 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

  • Episode 253 - Gaelic Woodland Project Chat
    Jul 3 2024
    Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast. And this special interview and chat between Sorcha the board of directors of the Gaelic Woodland Project. Founded by Eoghan Connaughton the project was first described to Aron as “a social experiment”, whose main objective was to create native woodlands and protect the existing woodlands on the Island of Ireland. Illustrator, secretary to the GWP and intermittent graphic designer for us well, Santiago Rial offers his unique perspective to the mix as we all discuss Ireland's forestry, the dangers it faces today, the invasive species (that are shockingly still sold in garden centres in Ireland) and the many aspects of biodiversity that Eoghan shared from his wealth of knowledge. This conversation was recorded in July 2023 and since that time the land in Mayo has been bought with donations and a small loan. The GWP is still raising funds to pay off this loan and to plant native woodland on this land and hopefully, more land to come. Eoghan, Santi, and Aron are the three board members of this charity which is hugely collaborative, inclusive and focused on skill sharing. The community is a beautiful one to be part of, and if you'd like to learn more about the GWP, follow the links below: https://gaelicwoodlandproject.com/ https://www.instagram.com/gaelicwoodlandproject?igsh=cHpla3JrY2NxNmYx This podcast is proudly sponsored by the people who donate to us each month via https://www.patreon.com/candlelittales and anyone who sends us a once-off donation through the Paypal button on our website http://candlelittales.ie/ Find details of our upcoming shows here: https://candlelittales.ie/performances/

  • Episode 252 - Collaborations - The Song Of Amergin With Jenny Ní Ruiséil
    Jun 19 2024
    Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast. And another wonderful collaboration episode. In these sporadic episodes, we’re fortunate enough to collaborate with a few very special musicians. We’re a fan of their work and they also happen to be a fan of ours. We have always been grateful for any collaborations we have created, performed and worked on with other artists. And since music has always been a backbone to our stories, we decided to take a few people up on their offers to collaborate on a few stories. In this episode, Sorcha Tells the story of the coming of the Sons of Mil, and the song of Amergin. And Jenny Ní Rusiéil’s beautiful melody floats throughout it with haunting vocals to add to the atmosphere. Just wait till the song at the end! It is inspired by the song of Amergin, and she blended in her musicality to back Sorcha’s telling of this story. For more on Jenny follow her links here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4R0J286gbSHVakV3wf1Ben?si=Nkmz5Q5lTuyFe97YJMRuqw https://www.instagram.com/jennybean108?igsh=MWNkcGZ3dW9kdjhuZA== Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen.
