Irish Music Stories Podcast

How does Irish music get handed down? Host Shannon Heaton travels to New York, County Galway, and Boston to talk with musicians about how they learned their music, and how this has led them to pass it on. Hear stories about from Rose Flanagan, Margie Mulvahill, Patty Furlong, Séan Clohessy, Seamus Connolly, and Josie and her dad John Coyne. The stories here go way beyond jigs and reels. And there’s plenty of music, too. Playlists below. * * * * * * * Special thanks to the Massachusetts Cultural Council for supporting this episode.
