About 3000 years ago, the first Celtic people began to arrive in Ireland. They found a country that had been occupied for about 3000 years before their time. Those older people left huge stone monuments, which impressed the Celts - who believed that only the Gods could have built such marvels. The oldest stories still told today in Ireland are the stories of the meetings between these older people and the newcomers – the Celts. You will hear some of these stories tonight.

The storytelling tradition still survives in Ireland. People still like to gather round an open fire on a cold night and listen to the “Séanachies’” tales of long ago. A kind of magic is created and for a little while it’s easy to forget the world outside the friendly circle.

Lorcan Flynn comes from a family of traditional Irish storytellers. The stories told to him by his parents, aunts, uncles and family friends had been learned from their own parents in a line stretching back thousands of years.
He tells his stories in easy English. Beginners in English will understand him and native speakers will enjoy themselves too. Come along and have a relaxing and enjoyable evening.

If you have heard these stories before and enjoyed them, come along with your friends. If you didn’t, send your enemies.
