Sorry, very last minute with this stuff but a lot of wonderful things going on this weekend and during the next 10 days In this news ........ - 2nd Farmleigh International Festival of Story and Song - 2009 Yeats Festival Season - Healers & Bards Gathering : Lunasa - 2009 Boyle Arts Festival - O'Carolan Keadue - Keash Garland Sunday 2nd Farmleigh International Festival of Story and Song Already kicked of yesterday but I'm on my way there right after I write up and send this to you. Irish Storytelling has its roots in the Celtic Bardic Tradition, where legends, poetry and history were recited to the accompaniment of the harp. During this festival there are three storyteller songster harpers of note, Robin Williamson, Helen Davies, and Fionnuala Gill, will accompany storytellers and singers from Iceland, Wales, Germany, Scotland and Ireland. Of course the highlight for me, and many, is bard, Robin Williamson, present an evening of Celtic Tales in the Farmleigh House Ball
