TIPS FOR BOOKING FLIGHTS TO IRELAND | TRAVELING IN IRELAND PODCAST EPISODE 131
- When booking your flights to Ireland you have a few things to keep in mind. Travel dates, flight costs, layovers, arrival & departure airports, and even your planned itinerary influence the flights you will choose.
LUXURY IN THE HEART OF BELFAST
- THE five star Fitzwilliam Hotel is bang in the middle of Belfast. Within a few minutes stands the City Hall, the Linen Hall Library and the Ulster Hall. All three are of absorbing interest, although the latter has a footnote in rock history that nowhere else can boast: this is where Stairway to Heaven had its first live performance. On March 5, 1971 — at the height of the Troubles, and with civil disturbance, violence and mayhem a daily occurrence in Belfast — Led Zeppelin appeared at the Ulster Hall
CELT IN A TWIST OCTOBER 30, 2022
- Listen for details on how you could win a Mahones prize pack from true North Records. Another debut from their latest, Jameson Street on tap, Finnish fiddler Paivi Hirvonen, a Cosmic Celtic from Mike Surratt and more!
FROM THE BANSHEE TO THE DULLAHAN AND THE LEGEND OF TÍR NA NÓG, HERE ARE 10 OF THE GREATEST IRISH MYTHS AND LEGENDS
- IRISH mythology and folklore is famed for its richness of detail, its abundance of memorable characters and its meaningful fables.
- From the most well-known tales, such as Deirdre of the Sorrows and the Children of Lir, to lesser-known gems, such as the warrior-queen Carmán, Ireland can lay claim to an abundance of folkloric wonders.
