Hi Kate, I discovered your channel on the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed each of the videos I've watched and think the one about the young fiddler who only knew three tunes might be my Céilí piece 😄 I clicked the link in your first comment, but it took me to a Playlist, and not to the cheat sheet mentioned? Unless so have missed something! And yes, I'd love to host a Céilí and will definitely give it some thought! It sounds lots of fun! Have a lovely evening 😊🌺
Right on, Kate. For the last few months at my monthly song circle at the library I’ve been inviting the folks who just come to listen to have a party piece. Recently a woman said…I’m 93 and this is a song I learned in camp when I was 7. It was great.
That's it, right there, Mike. That's a song and a voice worth hearing and I love that you are making space and welcome for her and for so many others. Lean ar aghaidh a chara liom!
Just what I needed to hear this morning! Discovered you just today, and your voice is so calm and grounding; I love the Irish philosophy presented here; beautiful.
Thank you so much for sharing your warmth and wisdom with us. I am an artist and really appreciated that you know and understand the insecurities that are part of the creative path. You really helped me see things from a different perspective.
I'm so happy to hear that and truly grateful for your kindness in telling me. I honestly think if you asked every creative person in the world, you would hear similar stories. That's why it's so marvelous for us to be here together, telling the truth and encouraging each other. Thank you!
You know it, Poet! That's a potent 1-2 right there: a community and a goal. And how blessed I am to be in this creative family with you AND in our literal family. So grateful to "meet" you here!
I love your setting. I am planning on going to Ireland, but fear flying so been holding it off sadly. I can go whenever I want though. My maiden name is Kelley and on my moms side is Walsh. Lots of Irish blood in me. I am your age and really want to go and see where my ancestors came from.
So much fun, Kate❣️ You have persuaded me to register for a drawing class. AND to hold a ceilidh at my home to celebrate my 75th birthday next month.🙏🏽
@@katechadbournebard I think so. I am part English, with a red haired father and sister and I feel such a strong connection with fairy tales , runes, and Celtic art.
I'm also a 'poly creative', Kate. I'm a visual artist with a keen interest in Ireland…I play Irish fiddle and also love to sing…I’ve been blessed to be able to visit Ireland many times (20+). Seven of those being art residencies…All in Kerry. Four in Listowel and three at Cill Rialaig in south Kerry. That said, I still need a creative bolstering from time to time!!☘️
What a novel idea. Swapping stories and guitar songs is one of the best pastimes I can think of, everyone is always enthralled with the tales, or simply passing around a book of poetry taking turns reading aloud. Thank you for the advice and I can't wait for next week's video!
YES - you get it! Even passing around a book of poetry and hearing your friends' voices, their inflections, their choices, can be so intimate and joyful. I love that this idea is appealing to you, and I am sure that you would make a wonderful host, welcoming others into your circle and encouraging them to share their gifts. And as ever, your words light up my heart and bring me such joy: THANK YOU!
Well, the answer to that question is within your video. To be a welcoming host to one's creative impulses, to nurture the minnow to whale, one might share that impulse. In the sharing, the performing or displaying, the creation gains confidence, grows and evolves. That's lovely: a warm and kind corner of the internet 🍀🙏🍀
Thank you for understanding so well! And lovely to think that as we host our own creative spark with more attentiveness and appreciation, we become a touchstone for others of what that can look and feel like. I am so glad that we are doing that together here.
The céilí in your course was a delight! It was remarkable to join classmates online with this sharing. This is what growing up in my father's community was like, and my dear friend (who was the great-grandmother of the guy I dated) often talked about the "piece" she had prepared as a child. I memorized it and taught it to my children! I also love the way you live fáilte. For years I have thought of this idea as "home," something that emerges from our souls through our eyes and hearts, infusing places with love and welcome.
Oh, that is beautiful - Failte as HOME. Failte abhaile: Welcome home. We all need that so much and it is a privilege to offer it to others and to receive it, too. How wonderful to meet this lady who understood how to ceili, and also wonderful that she transmitted her knowing to you, and through you, to your children. It is a joy to be connected with you and I'm so grateful for your encouragement and kindness!
Kate - Thank you for this inspired discussion - so supportive! When you have a moment, would you kindly share what books you're reading? You've got the best suggestions. All my thanks and love, mary
Hello a Mhaire a stor! Always such a JOY to see you and thank you for weighing in here. BOOKS: so many :) This summer I read through the wonderful detective series by Elly Griffiths about Ruth Galloway, an archaeologist in northern England, who finds a lot of stuff with "Celtic-y" overtones. My mother read them at the same time and that was especially fun. I also loved and think YOU would love, "What an Owl Knows" by Jennifer Ackerman. I imagine you are already an owl lover and this book will make you a passionate owl admirer. Love to you, a chara dhil!
@@katechadbournebard Kate - Thank you! What a joy to read books with your Mom! I remember sweetly of reading the Outlander series with my Mom years ago - so lovely to jump into fiction with our mothers! Thank you for these titles! Love to you - mary
I was recently reminded of the provenance a ‘party piece’ I love to share everywhere, anywhere I am blessed with the attention of others. ‘Folk’ tunes from my region are rare and this tune represents. I learned it from Mark, who learned it from the Walkers, it was written by Lance. The title is ‘Chicken Song’. Am, C, F (then some extras at the end). A two minute song can last 20min at the right party with multiple instruments as I ensure a solo slot in every bar. Lance Haslund is on RUclips, check out the chicken song! (My version is different tho)
This is the link to the song (with a second verse now - updated for modernity sake) m.ruclips.net/video/Q00iSIkV1eA/видео.html&pp=ygUaTGFuY2UgaGFzbGFuZCBjaGlja2VuIHNvbmc%3D
Oh, so marvelous! I love that you say that a 2 minute song can last 20 in good company. That is so much fun and I just love to dive into the shared good feeling of that. Thank you so much for weighing in here!
Very good Kate, just found your channel, lovely way with words and with the creative of the small and the big, craic agus ceoil done lots of fares in eirn especially west, love horse fares, music poetry and the likes, back in de auld balie atha chila, if spelt correctly? Im just getting used to this teck, ta suil agum, dia guit agus slan thamill. Kenneth.
Kenneth, here is a virtual handshake and a big grin. It's lovely to meet you and to hear you ag labhairt Gaeilge, and I love thinking of you bringing craic agus ceol to the horse fairs. Pure joy! Thank you for being here!
My feeling is that the cèilidh has always been from the get out go- whenever, whatever, whomever that was. In that we are a social species I imagine we've always gathered for the sharing of... news, ideas and also I feel the creative impulse has always been there as a trait of our species. To paraphrase John O'Donohue we are children of clay put forth by Earth to give voice to her glory. (I might be putting my own slant on this but that's the idea. I have markers in my O'Donohue books so as to refer to such but they're in storage just now, apologies.)
Those words from John O'Donoghue are beautiful. And I love what you say about the spontaneous nature of ceili-ing. There are wonderful pictures in the Irish folklore archive of people pausing in the fields to sing or tell stories. Imagine if we took this philosophy into modern offices! A LOT more smiling :)
Oh, I honestly got goosebumps with your words there. Offices, buses, supermarket aisles. A world of singing and laughing, story and sharing. I really think this would sooth a lot of ails.
They ARE all whales, aren't they! It's all about the perspective. How not to stomp through life oblivious to what's being crushed underfoot? ...and my creativity languishes as I unthinkingly wait for the right pair of shoes.
@@LJPonti So well said. We get to be creative today with exactly what is available to us in this moment and exactly as we are now. Thank you for this! ❤️
I am laughing here!!! I suspect you write from hard experience. :) I've been there when someone forgets that this is a shared occasion and perhaps because they have been lonely or felt unheard, chooses the never-ending 27 verse song. Yowza. And yet, maybe us listening helped a little? (Or maybe it reinforced the grabby behavior - I don't know!). Thanks for a good laugh!

I'm honored and touched by your kind words. Thank you!
Loved this Kate 🥰 I think surrounding yourself with supportive company and having a goal in sight welcome in creativity.

Thank you Kate. On this post Election Day, your Irish concept of Welcome is indeed needed and soul nourishing.

Yes that's true. a touchstone that may test the quality of their gold and thus inspiration to fan the wee creative sparks into flames.

If the minnow was a "Salmon of Knowledge" fingerling and you licked you finger who knows where it could lead !
Love this - great idea!!!
As long as you don't get someone singing a boring song that has 27 verses or a long story that has a twee, disappointing ending.
