What amazing work ! ❤

🌺

Very interesting interview. I have been following folklore for 50 years through the medium of folk song and folk clubs. Thank you for your beautiful brief rendition of Matty Groves, (Steel Eye Span version) being one of my favourites and my great fortune to have seen it performed live, as well as Fairport Convention. They were/are great ambassadors of the old tradition. As folklore and tradition progress (and I wish I had followed Ceallaigh dedicated path) I think a modern version of M.G. could have been Rod Stewart's 70's version of Maggie May (probably based on a bawdy Liverpool sailors ballad of the same name). Tales of young men led astray, interesting to see the tale from the other side, as it is usually young ladies being the victim. I will look out for the books, thank you /|\

What a great interview. I love listening to Sherry and I could've listened for a lot longer! You are getting some great guests in.

What a wonderful interview! I will be honest, it is making me consider rejoining OBOD. As you know I took the bard level course many years ago, but there were no groves anywhere near me and it just petered out. Eimear is a very inspiring leader from what I can see here. Well chosen, I think. 🙏🏼🦢

Such a painful legacy. I love you, sister, and wish Leo had had the mental fortitude to see the blessings in his life, and cherish you. ❤

This was great. Thank you both. Eimear does a wonderful job with bringing out both the unexplored and human elements of the stories she shares - and I loved the questions, Gail

Thank you

What a wonderful chat! I related to some of what Eimar discusses. For instance, I was raised Catholic, but gave up on the Church early on. My friend Kadjosi is in a refugee camp in Turkana county. This is the first time I have heard anyone else refer to that part of the world. I appreciated the background information on women's roles in druid history and mythology. Eimar is such a vibrant, charming speaker and I love how you never monopolize the interviews, but let your guests say all they have to say. Thank you for sharing (and conserving!) these very precious nuggets of wisdom.

So much vulnerability and strenght braided into one single strand, woven from fragility and growing into love and kindred souls. Thank you for telling this story, Gail. It's powerful, and so are you. ♡♡♡

I am glad you and your siblings found each other after so many years. I can't help but wonder what pushes a man to do as your father did. I was told by a West Indian man that it is quite common in their culture for men to take successive partners and produce children by many women. As I understood it, though, the fathers usually recognize and support their issue as best they can. I hope you can continue to learn about your family network. You, your brother and your sisters are his and your mothers' contribution to the world. Blessings on all your houses.

Hi Gail, wow! I didn't know your story would be so personal. I was moved by the way you told it, as well as the story itself. Carole from the breakout room on Tuesday here, 42nd subscriber. 🌱

What a great interview! For nearly 3 years now, Barbara has been helping me fulfil a lifelong dream to be able to sing properly. In my mid-50s, I decided it was finally time to give it a go, and I take lessons with Barbara on Zoom. It's been a revelation! From believing I had a low voice and could only sing men's songs, Barbara is taking me on a journey to explore classical and even opera arias in Italian! I never would have thought that was possible. So if you've tucked a singing dream under a rock, let Barbara give it wings. Looking forward to the next interview, Gail.

Wonderful channel, Gail. I love your introduction music. Thank you for the opportunity!

Thank you for bringing us such interesting women with such interesting things to say, Gail. I am really enjoying these capsules. Barbara is so alive! It is inspiring.

Thank you for this second fascinating installment, Gail. I very much enjoyed it.

Such an interesting interview. As a nurse myself I have always known of Mary Seacole but known very little about her. We have a building named after her at the University where I work. Thanks Gail and Helen

It is such a great pleasure to listen to your soothing voice and great writting. You are a master in the art of storytelling my dear friend! To be continued..

Powerful Gail! Love the forward momentum of the creative energy!

Wow, what a great (true!) story!

Late and followed. It was so lovely to hear your voice again. :-)

Thank you for sharing. What a heartfelt and beautiful story. I have subscribed❤
