Cathy Jo prefer to mix history and folklore, stories and songs. You might hear why the Irish tell so many tales of the Good People and their unpredictability, a leprechaun or pooka tale, a song from folklore, a bit about the good saint Himself and how he came to be so honored in Ireland and a song. Cathy Jo likes to share how the Irish came to America and why there are eight times as many Irish-Americans as there are folks in Ireland today. She tells traditional folk stories from Ireland, pulling from a variety of sources.
She also tells original tales in the traditional mode--particularly the "Seamus McSeamus" tales. Seamus was a wanderer, a rover, a traveling man, if you will, back in the days of "once upon a time". He walked the hills and valleys of Ireland as much for the fun of it as anything else for he was the sort of personnjoyed having adventures. And as you know, that is precisely the sort of person to whom adventures happen... Learn more about Cathy Jo at www.irishteller.com |
