View Larger Map

Meet there 10:00 am, earlier arrivers get some brekkie,
commence with walk on Moytura to sites

where Robin can share ancient tales on location such as

• Cheis Coarran, the mountain of Morrigan
  and her sacred river Unshin (Inshin)
  where she was Washer of The Ford where Dagda discovered her


• Labby Rock where De Dannan king Nuada fell


• Lugh's seat on the Hill of Giants from where Lugh threw his spear


• Lough na Sool, Lake of the Eye where Balor fell


• Stones Of Samhain, that froze the Formorians in battle


• Lough Arrow of Morrigan's waters from where Bride was born


• Lough Key from where the flow of life healed the lands again


• then a trip to O'Carolan's grave where we will share
  some of Turlough O'Carolan tunes from Robin

followed by lunch at our Two Worlds Kitchen
late arrivers at 1:00 pm ok too for an afternoon of bardic initiation and wonder
and closure of the day from the centre of our labyrinth garden.

Being a workshop, participants become part of these tales to evolve as bards themselves by the end of this remarkable day.

The harper bard tradition is the core of Ireland's spirit and founding.

This is an extremely rare experience to share this with a passionate bard, Robin Williamson, who's underlying life's work is to continue and pass on this tradition and spirit 

This is a very unique once off experience that cannot be missed.
We will probably never be able to arrange this with Robin again,
and this workshop is severely limited to 18 people

Introduction to Robin Williamson

Robin has an inexhaustible catalogue of songs, music, stories and comedy to provide us with an outstanding show and day's workshop on being a bard.

Robin's catalogue has been built from ….

• his early Scottish folk club days with Bert Jansch


• founding of the colourful and delightful Incredible String Band


• time in the USA entertaining with his Merry Band


• fun shows on BBC television


• his journey into Celtic mythology and stories and past 25 years as a bard


• including time as Chief of the Order of Druid, Bards and Ovates


• and now a variety of events solo, with John Renbourn


• and sacred events with his beautiful talented wife Bina.

There are at least 14 Incredible String Band albums featuring Robin, 3 Merry Men band CDs, award winning CD with John Renbourn, countless solo CDs, at least 25 of those, and several books published plus a beautiful CD, soon to be released, with his wife Bina that includes some of the beautiful Psalms set to ancient music.
Also lets not forget Robin's paintings, prints for sale at the concert and workshop, where you can also book and order originals too.

Robin has many celebrity fans including unexpected such as Mick Jagger and the late Princess Dianna

Perhaps the most devoted celebrity fan is Robert Plant who is said to have wanted Led Zeppelin to do a cover of one of Robin's songs to which John Bonham said "feck off!", or similar. So Robert Plant grew a beard to look like Robin then tried to write a song like Robin and from this "Stairway To Heaven!" dominated world music.

Here's a variety of video clips that introduces some variation on Robin Williamson’s past catalogue.
