Irish Music Stories Podcast

Why listen to Irish Music Stories?  The common thread of this month’s stories is, of course, Irish music. But it’s not the only thread. Digging into stories—whether they center around Irish music, chess, or ballet—uncovers real struggle and triumph. And it gives us all something to cheer about, something to remember. Here are memorable stories from Season One and a gentle remix of “Trip to Sligo,” the story of Cormac Gaj and his Irish music journey. * * * * * * * Special thanks to Brian Benscoter, Isobel McMahon, Peter Bartman, and Brandon Kennedy for supporting this episode.
