About this listen

 In the spirit of every artists quest to conjure a unique world from the chaos of our everyday lives, I aim to reveal a glimpse of Irelands beauty and depth to those who dare to look. Through meticulous observation and heartfelt storytelling, I share tales inspired by the remarkable Paddy Flynn, a bright-eyed elder residing in a humble cabin in Ballisodare. A master of narrative, he brings to life the realms of heaven, hell, purgatory, faeryland, and earth with a richness that rivals the greats like Homer. It is through his stories that we might rediscover the ancient simplicity and boundless imagination of the Gaelic people. So, let us embark together, as storytellers, to pursue the desires of our hearts without hesitation. For everything exists, everything is true, and beneath our feet lies but a speck of dust on a vast, wondrous earth. (W. B. Yeats)Copyright Legends & Fairy Tales
