SUMMARY:Author Teatime with Eilís Haden-Storrie
DESCRIPTION:Join local author Eilís to talk about her new book\, ‘These Intangible Things’\, published by Banner Books.\nWe are very excited to see our first Banner Books publication go to print\, and we are especially pleased to be working with local author\, Eilís Haden-Storrie\, and illustrator Peter Goossens. Could the wisdom of the past offer us a way towards a more holistic understanding of health and healing? The conversations in this book ask that question of scholars\, healers\, and those whose lives reflect the challenges of our time\, and consider what it means to truly heal.\nFor anyone that couldn’t make it to the Burren College of Art for the launch of this beautiful book\, this is another opportunity to meet Eilís\, find out about her own incredible health journey and join this healing conversation.

SUMMARY:Open Mic Social hosted by Frank Golden
DESCRIPTION:The monthly open mic social at our Kilrush shop is a free event\, open to all.\nFor lovers of poetry\, flash fiction and any kind of creative writing. Come to read from your own work or to share a favourite piece by another writer\, or come to listen and support.\nTea\, coffee\, and treats provided.This is a free event\, but there will be a ‘Tip Jar’ if you would like to donate towards expenses.\nPoet Frank Golden has also published two novels\, and has received numerous bursaries\, awards\, and residencies. He lives in the Oughtmama Valley\, County Clare.\nHe will be reading from ‘IF YOU TOLERATE THIS’\, his sixth collection of poems.\nIF YOU TOLERATE THIS is a wide ranging work in six parts which nails its geo-political colours to the mast\, and casts a misanthropic eye over the whole morass. Failure and the blighted realities of both entitled and marginalised lives suffuse sections of the book devoted to Fordlandia\, Henry Ford\, lives in states of crisis in Central America and the Middle East. Poems concerned with eco dynamics not only dominate section 5 but inform the book as a whole. IF YOU TOLERATE THIS ends with poems that Golden wrote as he back-packed through Iran in 2019\, together with a poem that admixes the death of Gaddafi and the experiences of the poet’s father in Libya during the Second World War. This is a book with a large cast of characters\, both familiar and new\, who are as riven and corruptive as the age we live in.\nPraise for Golden’s last book of poems\, ‘GOTTA GET A MESSAGE TO YOU’ (SalmonPoetry)\n“Golden is a poet to get excited about… This is a startling and exciting collection.”Afric McGlinchy/Southward Journal\n“I have rarely been so moved by a book of poems.” Grace Wells/Fur\n“A fantastic new collection by Irish poet Frank Golden. It has floored me like no book of poetry has in a long time. Golden has an uncanny ability to touch on the things that move us most deeply.” Phil Hanrahan/Bookish Review

SUMMARY:KDHS Monthly Lecture- The Disappeared: Forced Disappearances in Ireland 1798-1998 with Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc
DESCRIPTION:Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc is the historian who literally ‘knows where the bodies are’. He has spent over a decade researching the fate of ‘The Disappeared’\, the forgotten victims of the century’s long struggle for Irish freedom – the majority of whose bodies are still hidden deep in the Irish countryside. In 2018\, Ó Ruairc’s research led to the recovery of the remains of Private George Chalmers\, a British soldier who had been executed by the IRA in 1921 and secretly buried in a remote bog. Ó Ruairc has a PhD in History & a BA in Archaeology.\n‘The Disappeared: Forced Disappearances in Ireland 1798-1998’ is his seventh book.\nThe spectre of ‘the Disappeared’\, those abducted\, secretly executed and their bodies buried in remote locations\, has overshadowed the debate around the legacy of the Troubles in Northern Ireland for the last two decades. Yet what most people don’t realise is that ‘forced disappearances’ have been part of violent political conflicts in Ireland for over 200 years.\nThis groundbreaking book\, the first of its kind\, looks at the history of this practice in Ireland and identifies all known victims over the last century\, from the North King Street Massacre in 1916 right up to 2003. Ó Ruairc cuts through the exaggeration and myth that pervade the popular history of the ‘Good Old IRA’ to prove that this organisation was particularly ruthless in using this course of action during the War of Independence and Civil War\, much more so than their successors in the Provisional IRA or the British forces in Ireland. The author also reveals how his research has helped locate several bodies of those long missing\, one of which has already been recovered and given a proper burial.\nBehind each disappearance there is the story of a life cut short and a family left searching for answers. Ó Ruairc deftly incorporates this human element\, preserving the memory of those who were disappeared on both sides of the conflict.\nPraise for The Disappeared\n‘Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc’s The Disappeared will be indispensable to students of Irish history for years to come’ – Eilis O’Hanlon\, The Sunday Independent\n‘brilliantly researched and highly unsettling’ – Andrew Lynch\, Business Post\n‘…a great and sometimes painful read\, which confronts a long-neglected topic’ – John Downing\, The Irish Independent\n‘Excellent.’ – Fortnight Magazine\n———–\nTo watch the lecture live online at the scheduled lecture time (or to watch a recording online at any subsequent time of your choosing)\, go to\nhttps://www.youtube.com/@kilrushanddistricthistor…/streams\nThere will be a live chat (text) facility to enable the remote audience to participate in the discussion.\n———-\nKDHS lectures are free to members\, EUR5 for non-members\, payable on the night only. New members are welcome. The annual membership fee (July-June) is EUR20.\nThe membership form can be downloaded from our website at\nhttp://kdhs.ie/assets/files/general/membership_form.pdf

SUMMARY:KDHS Lecture - Famine Migration to Quebec: 1845-1860 Presented by Mary-Alice Wildasin
DESCRIPTION:Why did so many Irish migrate to Canada in the nineteenth century? For the most part\, history tells us that they abandoned their homeland because of famine\, political strife\, epidemics\, religious suppression and evictions. Irish Catholics had a considerable impact on the city of Quebec. Following the migration journey of the Doran family\, from Summerslane\, Kilkenny\, this presentation is a discussion of what life might have been like in Quebec in the 1850’s for Irish Catholic migrants. The Migration to Quebec is investigated with a study of types of jobs they had\, where they lived and diseases within the community. Orphaned Irish children and the first ethnic church built for the Irish Catholic migrants are also considered. Three of the Doran siblings lived out their lives in Canada\, while two continued their migration to Bangor\, Maine. For this presentation\, migrants from Clare are also discussed. \nMary-Alice Wildasin moved to Ireland from Florida\, to further her education at the University of Limerick. \nIn 2020 she graduated with an MA in History of the Family\, writing her dissertation on her own family’s migration: The Dorans – from Summerslane\, Kilkenny to Bangor\, Maine 1820 – 1900: A Case Study in Step Migration. \nShe came to UL with a unique background\, having previously worked as a Political Consultant and a Real Estate Paralegal. Since 2010\, she has been a professional genealogist specializing in Irish and New England research after graduating from Boston University with a Graduate Certificate in Genealogical Research and Forensic Genealogy. \nMary-Alice continues to research her family lines and is also working on her partner’s family tree\, which can be traced to the same land where they live\, back to the early 1800s. A very different path than her own ancestors’. \nMary-Alice currently lives in Molougha with her partner. \n———– \nTo watch the lecture live online\, go to \n \nat the scheduled lecture time.  There will be a live chat (text) \nfacility to enable the remote audience to participate in the discussion. \n———- \nKDHS lectures are free to members\, EUR5 for non-members\, payable on the night only. New members are welcome. The annual membership fee (July-June) is EUR20. \nThe membership form can be downloaded from our website at \nhttp://kdhs.ie/assets/files/general/membership_form.pdf

SUMMARY:Restringing The Stone Fiddle
DESCRIPTION:A performative reading of Paddy Tunney’s The Stone Fiddle\, taking us on a journey through his stories\, songs and poetry. With John Tunney & Mary Tunney. \nJohn Tunney is a Clare-based singer and song writer who grew up in a multi-generational family of Irish traditional singers. The Tunney family repertoire is one of the richest in the entire Irish tradition\, and John has appeared at numerous festivals throughout Ireland\, on radio and television and on several albums\, most recently a solo CD ‘The Immigrant: A Stone on the Cairn of Tradition.’ \nIn 2023\, John and his family founded the Tunney Song Tradition Trust. The trust is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the collected works of Paddy Tunney\, ‘The Man of Songs.’ \n‘Restringing The Stone Fiddle’ is an evocation of the oral tradition of fireside culture with its colour\, charm and richness. Featuring diverse line-ups\, the show has recently been performed at a variety of festivals including Belfast TradFest\, the Ulster Fleadh\, Ceol na Coille\, and Fleadh Cheoil na h-Éireann in Wexford. On this occasion\, John will be accompanied by his wife Mary. \nPaddy Tunney (1921-2002) was one of the most celebrated figures in traditional Irish music\, renowned for his rendition of ‘big songs’ such as ‘Mountain Streams’\, ‘Where the Moorcock Crows’\, ‘Murlough Mary’ and ‘Highland Mary’. \nHe counted Willie Clancy\, Liam Clancy\, Tommy Makem and Séamus Ennis among his friends\, and he recorded a total of eight solo albums. He also published several books\, including the autobiographical ‘The Stone Fiddle: My Way to Traditional Song.’ \nIn 1979\, when The Stone Fiddle first appeared\, The Irish Times wrote that “Paddy Tunney’s book is much more than a collection of songs … only infrequently can a study be said to reveal a culture from within. When such an event occurs\, the result can be electrifying\, and such is the effect of The Stone Fiddle\, undoubtedly a of piece literature\, and yet so directed by the oral tradition that the pages dance with a degree of life denied to most literary works.” \nNow\, after many years out of print\, Tunney Song Tradition Trust is making this 1970s’ classic available to a new generation of traditional song and music enthusiasts. This performance celebrates not only Paddy Tunney’s stories\, but also some of the 60 songs that are included in the book. \nJourneying On… \nA family affair\, the Tunney Song Tradition Trust works to ensure the continuation of the songs and stories that evoke memories of past celebrations and gatherings whilst guaranteeing their presence at all those yet to come. \nIn that spirit\, after the main performance\, we ask you to share your own songs and stories with us in a traditional Rambling House. \nThis event is part of Sound Out 2024\, a celebration of spoken word\, story and song in Kilrush\, Co. Clare.

SUMMARY:The Legacy of Percy French with Peadar McMahon
DESCRIPTION:A performance of music\, stories and song\, that celebrates the works and remarkable life of Ireland’s greatest songwriter. \nJoin musician and historian\, Peadar McMahon\, for a performance of music\, stories and song\, that celebrates the works and remarkable life of Ireland’s greatest songwriter. And of course\, no Kilrush performance would be complete without French’s celebration of our own West Clare Railway! \nPercy French entertained audiences in small village halls all over Ireland from the 1890’s until the time of his death in 1920. While most Irish audiences have grown accustomed to hearing his songs performed by Irish Tenors\, they were originally composed by Percy French for his banjo and relaxed baritone. Peadar MacMahon’s folk arrangements pay tribute to how they were originally performed. \nPeadar will also be performing songs from his album of haunting traditional airs\, ‘Anair’. \nA Limerick native\, Peadar now lives in Kilrush. His performances are charming\, heartfelt\, engaging and educational. He offers his audience a greater connection to the songs through the telling of their stories and his own. \nThis event is part of Sound Out 2024\, a celebration of spoken word\, story and song in Kilrush\, Co. Clare.
