    Absolute Legend could listen to Eddie all day, even though alot have forgotten at least some of us still appreciate our identity & traditions
  • @seaniepc4
    Once more Eddie gives a Masterclass of Irish Lore and knowledge. If you think he knows a lot after listening to him here, I can assure you he is holding back. He knows he has to field many questions and he makes as much time for every one. If it was a story session you would see a fast talking quick thinking man that would regale us with one story after another, going from traditions to happenings, curses, piseogs, Ban-shees, Daoine-Shee , Fae Folk, and so much more.. It would be a dream for me to listen to him some night. Youtube and books are no match for the Real Man Himself. Oh and I Believe, no doubt about it
  • I love this group and the goodbyes were fab! so nice to see a smiling Eddie! The whole episode just GREAT! I feel so lucky to be a part of this!

    Very significant comment about Americanisation. It's a great threat to all world cultures. It trivialises human existence and commodities everything. Ireland eternal & bless wise beautiful Addie and may he live a long life like his aunt bless her. I'm from Austral but my DNA is 100% is north western Cork, my ancestors came in chains her fro Knocknagashel in 1822.
  • I went down to him from Tyrone 4 years ago, welcome me in.. Cup of tea the lot! He's a great man
  • @alicetatman6411
    He is very right about America , im American and I know it gets worse every year. Wonderful talk thank you
  • @emseebe
    WOW! the AMOUNT of research this great man has accomplished. Absolutely astounding!
  • @nancybingham7298
    I grew up in Canada surrounded by many Irish relatives who immigrated here in early 1900s. This brought back so many wonderful memories of being told tales from Ireland. So pleased to find this post.. Thanks for posting.
  • @eileencregg6754
    I am just saying again, the work and love you do and have done is so important. And I am so grateful that Eddie, dear Sir you are a Rare and lovely man. I thank our Gods, Goddess for you .ETC... my initials of my heritage to Ireland, my loves, my Ancestors are from as wet.

    I'd be happy to go threw and write down all the tapes this legend of a man has!! Sign me up
  • What an absolute flippin' legbag, it takes a lot to catch a Drog off guard, but two Mickeys did it 😆
  • @Mellismart
    What a delight to hear this erudite man speak. Ireland has unique cultural treasure in him. I must agree with him about the cultural contamination which is occurring through American media. There is so much there that isn't laudable or worth imitating. But, I note that Ireland has managed to maintain its unique identity over many centuries of exposure to outside cultures.
  • @sheionafinn5138
    Eddie is right it's ever so sad that the traditions are being lost but with people like Eddie and a good few here like us watching in Ireland hopefully they won't be. 💪🥰💚💚👏
  • @deeppurple883
    The art of storytelling is central to our identity, loose that and we've nothing to draw from. We don't have the same calibrer of people we once had. There needs to be a revivel of the arts rooth and branch. A perfect time to start. This is how we Irish made a name for ourselves, our culture and our history, it was right across the bord. We've always boxed above our wight. If we care enough we should all get behind it. ✊☘️

    Such an honour to hear the great Eddie Lenihan speak with myself in western Canada! I have only just finished his book, "Meeting the Other Crowd." Fabulous! I have been involved some 25 years now, in re-introducing Diaspora descendants to their culture of origin (Irish) through storytelling and especially the telling of myth. Great fun! (and as all storytellers do, I am always on the hunt for new material!) Thank you so much Anthony for inviting Eddie to the show.
  • @gregduff1458
    Hi folks. I live in rathcoole or the rath of cumhail. I visit some ancient sites there that Eddie might be interested in. I'm roaming this hill for 5 years now and know it inside out. If anyone is interested in a walk around this hill I would love to show and if anyone could throw some light on its significance it would be great.
  • @whitehair8824
    Dirferent vibe from Eddie.. some character Indeed. Sadly a dying breed.. I'm trying to learn from these wise elders and not be afraid to speak my mind.. thanks for helping us to remember Eddie...
