If you are a fan of Irish Music and haven’t checked out Shannon Heaton’s excellent Irish Music Stories Podcast, you’re in for a treat! Shannon explores Irish, Scottish and other Celtic traditions in an engaging manner. Each episode is always accompanied by music and the latest is no exception. A flute-player herself, it was inevitable that Francis O’Neill would appear as a topic. I was delighted when Shannon invited me to join her for part of the discussion, as well as to read a passage from Chief O’Neill.
Francis’s story is still being told and I am always honoured to be part of the discussion. Click on the image above, or here to go to the latest episode. You can also subscribe to Irish Music Stories with any podcast app.
