- It’s all on the Brobdingnagian Bards Podcast #76
CELTIC MYTHS AND LEGENDS PODCAST: IRISH VAMPIRES
- Despite the catchy (and simplstic title!) we are going to be discussing a few different irish folktales in this episode. All of them loosely ‘vampiric' in one way or another.
The Abhartach, the Dearg Due, the leannán sídhe and the sluagh.
HIDDEN GEMS OFFER FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY IN HISTORIC KILKENNY
- FROM first look the delights of Kilkenny city and its surrounding areas are pretty evident.
- The area is one of Ireland’s historical highlights and, understandably, a prized location on the nation’s Ancient East map.
COPPERPLATE PODCAST 282
- Danu, Mick Conneely & David Munnelly, Rita Gallagher, Mick O’Brien, Paddy Tutty & Caoimhin O’Fearghail, Niamh Ní Charra, Donal Clancy, Bobby Casey, Michael Sheehy, Dezi Donnelly & Mike McGoldrick, Gerry O’Connor, Andy Martyn, Danu, London Lasses
THE MYSTERY OF THE CELTIC NATIONS AROUND THE WORLD UNRAVELLED
- Basically, the Celtic nations are a group of people that embraces the Celtic culture and speaks the Celtic language, obviously. Among this group of people lies the Irish; who are the most likely to be referred to as the Celts. This is probably why people are confused between the two of them, thinking they’re synonyms to one another.
