Description
From time immemorial, people have shared their way with words along with their powerful music. In this program, stories and myths from Ireland and Scotland are told with a unique flair and insight. Adults and children will thrill to haunting tales and myths of fairies, laugh at the antics of leprechauns, and be awed by true stories of the perseverance of Celtic people. The stories are interspersed with the magic of the harp in heartfelt ballads, lively dance tunes, O'Carolan's great music, contemporary Irish songs, and beloved traditional tunes.
