    Candlelit Tales Irish Mythology Podcast

    We are a group of storytellers, performers, and musicians. We tell Irish myths to a live audience with live music.
    Candlelit Tales was founded by brother-sister storytelling duo Aron and Sorcha Hegarty. Driven by a passion for Irish mythology, we started retelling the stories to a near-empty room upstairs in a Dublin pub one rainy evening in November. The next week, the room was a lot less empty, and we were joined by musician Ru O’Sé. By the fourth week, the room was full, and so was the hall outside. We realised that when we share our passion, it becomes contagious. And we’ve been telling stories and playing music from that day to this.

    Since then, over the past five years of telling stories in the capital of this nation of storytellers, we have developed and refined our uniquely expressive, naturalistic and modern style. Live music is the heartbeat of all our performances, and a live original music score composed by a team of talented musicians drives the rhythm of the stories

    Episode 15 - Fionn Birth & Boyhood Jun 03, 2019
    Show notes

    In this episode, we tell the story of the birth and boyhood of one of Ireland’s greatest heroes: Fionn Mac Cumhaill. But this story isn’t about Fionn, so much as it is about the women who raised him, shaped him, and made him the man he was. We talk about the place of the Fianna in old Irish society, and the women of the Fianna who have been forgotten. The article we talk about after the story is here, for any of you who would like to have a read: https://aliisaacstoryteller.com/2016/02/29/warrior-women-of-ireland/ Produced and edited by Oisin Ryan, with music by Oisin Ryan, story by Sorcha Hegarty and Aron Hegarty. https://open.spotify.com/show/2102WuUUe9Jl6cGXNwQEKf https://soundcloud.com/candlelittales http://candlelittales.ie/ https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=6762832


    Episode 14 - Sadhbh May 20, 2019
    Show notes

    One of the most heartbreaking stories in Irish mythology, Sadhbh is a story of persecution, resilience, and tragedy that doesn’t pull any punches. Maybe it’s something in Irish genes, but that just makes us love it more! Curl up with a cup of something comforting and prepare to have your heart punched in the face. Produced and edited by Oisin Ryan, with music by Oisin Ryan, story by Sorcha Hegarty and Aron Hegarty. https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=6762832


    Episode 13 - Midir & Etain May 06, 2019
    Show notes

    This is a love story. One of the most romantic love stories of Irish myth. A sweeping epic that shows how true love transcends all barriers of form and time and place and circumstance. And then it has a really dark, messed up ending. Because apparently, we can't have nice things. Produced and edited by Oisin Ryan, with music by Oisin Ryan, story by Sorcha Hegarty and Aron Hegarty. https://open.spotify.com/show/2102WuUUe9Jl6cGXNwQEKf https://soundcloud.com/candlelittales http://candlelittales.ie/ https://www.patreon.com/bePatron?u=6762832
