Episode 10 : Music and the Fairies Part 2

This month, Eddie tells us of a man named Sean O'Connor who came from Sliabh Luachra. The kind of man who didn't quite fit in. Sean's fiddle playing was a point of mockery in the local community, and he was chased out of the local parish dances because of it. Until one night, after a chance encounter with the other crowd, he gets given the gift of fairy music. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/tell-me-a-story-with-eddie-lenihan.
