Dr Mary Bergin, UCD Honorary Degree Recipient, 18 March 2022 UCD - University College Dublin 2023-02-14 | Presentation of UCD Honorary Degree and Live @Belfield Concert performanceMary Bergin - Honorary Degree of Doctor of LiteratureCitation by Professor Michael Doherty “An inspirational teacher of the tin whistle, Mary’s ‘Irish Tin Whistle Tutorial’ series was described by the late Paddy Moloney of the Chieftains as ‘pure genius’.“In her teaching, the many facets that give traditional music its distinctiveness are explored and interpreted. In her teaching, Mary pays attention to what she refers to as the ‘internal rhythm’ of the music, the essence of the music, the breathing, almost like a meditation.“Avoiding over emphasis on the technicality, she searches with her students for the feeling, the heart and soul of the music, croí agus anam an cheoil but the fun and the enjoyment of the music, the comhluadar - the joyous company that surrounds a traditional music session is never far away.” UCD Twitter: http://twitter.com/ucddublin UCD Facebook: facebook.com/universitycollegedublin UCD Instagram: http://instagram.com/ucddublin UCD Homepage: http://www.ucd.ie
Dr Paddy Glackin, UCD Honorary Degree Recipient, 18 March 2022 UCD - University College Dublin 2023-02-14 | Presentation of UCD Honorary Degree and Live @Belfield Concert performancePaddy Glackin - Honorary Degree of Doctor of LiteratureCitation by Dr Ciarán Crilly “Paddy Glackin is one of Ireland’s most eminent fiddle players, a shining light in the popular wave of the Irish folk revival from the 1970s, as well as being an illustrious broadcaster and producer, and a respected authority on the history of traditional music in Ireland. It is entirely fitting that he featured in an iconic album from the 1980s showcasing the cream of Irish performers entitled The High Kings of Tara as he is indeed musical royalty, and something of a legend.”UCD Twitter: http://twitter.com/ucddublin UCD Facebook: facebook.com/universitycollegedublin UCD Instagram: http://instagram.com/ucddublin UCD Homepage: http://www.ucd.ie
Dr Mary O’Hara, UCD Honorary Degree Recipient, 18 March 2022 UCD - University College Dublin 2023-02-14 | Presentation of UCD Honorary Degree and Live @Belfield Concert performanceMary O’Hara - Honorary Degree of Doctor of LiteratureCitation by Professor Therese Smith“Arguably the most influential singer-harpist of the twentieth century, Mary O’Hara brought the harp to worldwide audiences, playing concerts to full capacity audiences at the Royal Festival Hall, in New York City at Carnegie Hall, and in London at the Royal Albert Hall.“As a solo singer with harp, singing songs in Irish, Mary O’Hara was a unique artist showcasing traditional music at a time when Ireland was experiencing a recession akin only to that which we are now facing.

Dr Mary Black, UCD Honorary Degree Recipient, 18 March 2022 UCD - University College Dublin 2023-02-14 | Presentation of UCD Honorary DegreeMary Black - Honorary Degree of Doctor of LiteratureCitation by Associate Professor Lucy Collins “A singer of remarkable grace and subtle expression of feeling, Mary Black’s achievement extends from the purity of her 1983 debut album to the atmospheric setting of some of her best-known songs by the National Symphony Orchestra, just over two years ago. Despite the scale of this recognition, she remains attentive to the individual composition, with an ear attuned to the exact relationship between the shape of the lyric and its instrumentation.“In addition to this instinct for musical form, her unerring sense of how a group of talented musicians will combine to produce a near-perfect performance is, by now, legendary. But it is her voice – a voice of unparalleled clarity and control – that draws these elements together into a singular and lasting art.”UCD Twitter: http://twitter.com/ucddublin UCD Facebook: facebook.com/universitycollegedublin UCD Instagram: http://instagram.com/ucddublin UCD Homepage: http://www.ucd.ie

Finbar thus performed the almost impossible feat of pleasing purists and proletariat alike, for which he most certainly deserves yet another medal.”UCD Twitter: http://twitter.com/ucddublin UCD Facebook: facebook.com/universitycollegedublin UCD Instagram: http://instagram.com/ucddublin UCD Homepage: http://www.ucd.ie
Dr Andy Irvine, UCD Honorary Degree Recipient, 18 March 2022 UCD - University College Dublin 2023-02-14 | Presentation of UCD Honorary Degree and Live @Belfield Concert performance Andy Irvine - Honorary Degree of Doctor of LiteratureCitation by Dr Kelly Fitzgerald “A wise man once said: nothing gives the illusion of permanence like tradition. When one experiences an aspect of intangible culture, they immediately either accept it as familiar and part of a known repository that is already established, or else it is labelled as other, different or perhaps even exotic.“Most noted perhaps of Andy Irvine’s many musical talents is his instinctive ability to integrate innovative elements into the world of tradition. This he continues to achieve, in a manner whereby his audience is at once at ease and receptive as if this has always been the practice.“He was not dismissive of previous traditions but found an approach to build on what had gone before, while at the same time keeping the integrity to the core and alive.” UCD Twitter: http://twitter.com/ucddublin UCD Facebook: facebook.com/universitycollegedublin UCD Instagram: http://instagram.com/ucddublin UCD Homepage: http://www.ucd.ie

Folklore Fragments Podcast: Stones of Strength in Irish Tradition (with David Keohan) UCD - University College Dublin 2022-12-12 | Lying in fields and ditches, at the edge of old and overgrown graveyards and in lonesome places all over Ireland rest forgotten echoes of our past. Large and unwieldy stones; blocks of granite and sandstone flags which, used in former times as tests of strength, still reverberate with the memory of heroic feats. The tradition of stone lifting, while well-attested in Scotland, Iceland and other parts of Europe, is a topic about which very little is known in Ireland. For the past year, David Keohan, multiple national European and world champion in kettlebell sport, world record holder, avid strength historian and self-described stone-lifting fanatic, has been (literally) unearthing this little-known aspect of traditional Irish physical culture. Guided by material relating to the practice of stone lifting as found in the archives of the National Folklore Collection, David has been travelling the country identifying lifting stones mentioned in manuscript sources gathered by folklore collectors, and has been talking to locals who remember the lifting of these stones in former times. It has been an honour to assist in shining further light on this topic, and I was delighted to be joined by David for this episode of Blúiríní as he discusses his adventures to date. Join us as we attempt to set out the scope of the tradition as it existed in Ireland, drawing on NFC collection to examine the occasions on which these stones were lifted, their connection to funeral games and the dead, the role of lifting stones as rites of passage or method of settling dispute as well as their associations with hags, giants and mythical champions. The richness of our archival collections now serve to assist in the regeneration and reanimation of this once widespread custom, and should serve as a source of inspiration and pride; linking us with the past, with our birthplaces and with those who have gone before us.David's Instagram: www.instagram.com/irish_move_athlete/?hl=enDavid's YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/@davidindianakeohans3566Two highly recommended and very beautiful Rogue Fitness documentaries were mentioned at the outset of the episode. They are available here: Stoneland (Scottish stone lifting tradition): youtube.com/watch?v=MhQlNwxn5ooFullsterkur (Icelandic stone lifting tradition): youtube.com/watch?v=79Tcsg2Yac8Website here dedicated to the memory of Scotsman Peter Martin (mentioned in this episode). Peter held a special affection for the Gaels, and his research into Gaelic strength culture and traditional stone lifting was without equal: www.oldmanofthestones.comUCD Twitter: http://twitter.com/ucddublinUCD Facebook: facebook.com/universitycollegedublinUCD Instagram: http://instagram.com/ucddublinUCD Homepage: http://www.ucd.ie

“I am in double trouble, mental and material” – James Joyce calls for help in private letter UCD - University College Dublin 2022-10-13 | In a 1904 letter to his close friend and supporter C.P. Curran, James Joyce writes:"My Dear Curran, I am in double trouble, mental and material. Can you meet me tomorrow at half past four at smoke room in Bewley's in West-moreland Street?Yours truly,James Joyce"The letter is one of two private letters James Joyce sent to his close friend and supporter C.P. Curran seeking his help and empathetic ear during his plight as a writer that have been acquired by University College Dublin to add to its archival collection of James Joyce materials. A postcard written by Joyce’s younger brother, Stanislaus Joyce to C.P. Curran in 1907 to tell of the great writer’s “severe attack of rheumatic fever and inflammation of the eyes” has also been acquired by the university for its Special Collections.In the second private letter written by Joyce to Curran in 1917 while he was in Zurich working on his novel Ulysses, the writer describes how he is “recovering from a painful — and this time dangerous — illness of the eyes…”The new home at UCD Special Collections for the private correspondence between the two lifelong friends which had been held in safekeeping by the Curran family since they were first written is most fitting, because James Joyce (1882-1941) and C.P. Curran (1883-1972) first met and quickly became close friends and life-long companions while studying at the Dublin university. Both Joyce and Curran graduated from University College Dublin with a BA in 1902.“We urge people to explore these fascinating letters on the UCD Digital Library, and to see for themselves Joyce’s thoughts and words in his own handwriting” said Dr Sandra Collins, University Librarian, University College Dublin.“People can also come and visit the exhibition in the James Joyce Library in UCD and enjoy the illuminating literary networks that formed such an important part of the fabric of society during revolutionary times in Ireland,” she added.C.P. Curran, a lawyer and historian of 18th century Dublin architecture, sculpture and plasterwork, with a life-long interest in art and literature was to become a great supporter of Joyce throughout his writing career.Curran also knew other early 20th Century Irish writers including W.B. Yeats, James Stephens and Padraic Colum. His legal career saw him rise to the post of Registrar of the Supreme Court before his retirement in 1953. Curran married the actress, costumier, teacher, and suffragist, Helen Laird (1874-1957) in December 1913.With the blending of their social circles a vibrant and diverse group of artists, historians, playwrights, actors and writers were brought together with the couple at its centre. It was through Laird that Curran first met AE (George Russell) with whom he would have a close friendship until Russell’s death in 1935. Their group found an outlet in the couple’s famed weekly salons, held every Wednesday afternoon at their home at 42 Garville Avenue, Rathgar.Curran was a model for the character Gabriel in James Joyce’s “The Dead”.He is also mentioned by name in Ulysses, where Stephen Dedalus recalls that he owes him ten guineas.The iconic 1904 portrait of James Joyce standing with hands in pockets, in front of a greenhouse, staring directly into the camera lens was taken by Curran in his family’s back garden at 6 Cumberland Place on the North Circular Road, Dublin.In 1968, C.P. Curran summed up his life-long companionship with Joyce in his book: James Joyce Remembered.The newly acquired Joyce letters and postcard have been included into an exhibition entitled Revolutionary Dublin’s Literary Networks at UCD Special Collections.The original collection was acquired by University College Dublin in 1971.It includes over 400 letters of correspondence, 130 of these letters relate to James Joyce in that they are either written by Joyce to Curran or they are from associates of Joyce and his family.This collection is the core James Joyce archival collection within UCD and includes 23 letters written by Joyce to Curran. Other letters within the collection offer an insight into how people like Curran and his wife Helen Laird communicated with Lucia Joyce, Stanislaus Joyce, Harriet Shaw Weaver, Sylvia Beach and Paul Leon in order to support James Joyce and his family over the course of decades. This collection is a critical resource for Joyce scholars throughout the world.The letters have been catalogued and placed within an acid free box which is kept in an environmentally controlled storage area adjacent to the Special Collections reading room within UCD Library. In this box, the temperature and relative humidity is kept at a constant level to ensure the letters will be preserved for future generations.All the James Joyce related Curran Laird letters, including the three new acquisitions are available to view on the UCD Digital Library: https://digital.ucd.ie/

Folklore Fragments Podcast 37: Peig Sayers (with Dr. Éilís Ní Dhuibhne & Dr. Pádraig Ó Héalaí) UCD - University College Dublin 2022-08-05 | Blúiríní Béaloidis: "Long as the day is, night comes, and alas, the night is coming for me too... Someone else will have pastime out of my work when I'm gone on the way of truth. A person here and a person there will say, maybe, 'Who was that Peig Sayers?' but poor Peig will be the length of their shout from them. This green bench where she used to do the studying will be a domicile for the birds of the wilderness, and the little house where she used to eat and drink, it's unlikely there'll be a trace of it there." For this episode of Blúiríní, instead of focusing on one aspect of tradition, we for the first time dedicate our explorations to one individual; Mairéad ‘Peig’ Sayers who, by her artistry and mastery as a storyteller in the oral tradition, skilfully managed to express the wisdom of the many in the wit of the few, and yet whose printed autobiographies (as Irene Lucchitti notes in an article in Folklore and Modern Irish writing) ‘experienced a decline in reputation, suffering critical disdain and schoolyard ridicule in equal measure’. Now, nearly sixty-five years after her death, we hope to provide a platform through which her tales might find a new audience, one which, it is hoped, may find in her a source of inspiration and insight. For episode 37 of Blúiríní, I was honoured to have been joined by Dr. Éilís Ní Dhuibhne and Dr. Pádraig Ó Héalaí, in the beautiful surrounds of the Museum of Literature Ireland and for the first time in front of a live studio audience - something which was a great pleasure for me personally! Thanks to my guests Éilís and Pádraig, to our friends at MoLI for taking such good care of us on the night and especially to all who came along in person and made the evening so pleasant! This podcast also marks the launch of Thar Bealach Isteach / Into the Island, a nine month collaborative exhibition between MoLI and the NFC, which looks at Peig Sayers and the Blasket Island storytelling tradition. See moli.ie for details. Blúiríní Béaloidis 37 is online now, I hope you'll join Pádraig, Éilís and I as we ask 'who was that Peig Sayers'?

Folklore Fragments Podcast 36: The Travellers (with David Joyce and Áine Furey) UCD - University College Dublin 2022-06-28 | Irish Travellers, known in their own language as Mincéirs or Pavees and in Irish called ‘An Lucht Siúil or, ‘The Walking People’, are a nomadic ethnic minority in Ireland with a distinct history, culture and identity. Historically, Travellers were called Tinkers, a reference to their trade as tinsmiths, and they also made a living through engaging with the settled community; by buying and selling animals, or through seasonal farm labour. They’ve also long been renowned as singers, musicians and storytellers who brought news, tales, songs and music from townland to townland, parish to parish and county to county as they travelled around Ireland. As a minority group however, Ireland’s Travellers they have long-faced discrimination on the basis of their ethnicity, and are often reported as the subject of explicit prejudice in Irish society. For this episode of the podcast, I hope to enter into an exploration of Traveller culture and identity, and I’m honoured to be joined by David Joyce; an advocate for the Traveller community who has worked as both a barrister and a solicitor, and Áine Furey, a singer, musician, tour guide and alumna of the Department of Irish Folklore here at UCD. I hope you’ll keep us company for the next hour or so as we come to know and honour the culture, traditions, perspectives and experiences of Ireland’s Travelling people, to whom this episode is dedicated.

Folklore Fragments Podcast 35: The Civil War (with Dr. Críostóir Mac Cárthaigh) UCD - University College Dublin 2022-05-26 | The Civil War was a schismatic moment in Irish history, and the fault lines it left split families, tore apart communities and turned former comrades in arms against one another in a bitterly divisive period of violence and conflict. According to historian Anne Dolan, ‘The memory of the Irish Civil War has been assumed, distorted, [and] misunderstood. It has been manipulated, underestimated, but most of all, ignored’. Now, 100 years on, in marking the centenary of this period, The Civil War Memory project is currently underway (a collaboration between The National Folklore Collection, University College Dublin and award winning documentary filmmakers Scratch Films) to document and preserve oral testimonies, reminiscences and accounts concerning the Civil War. The collecting project will result in a body of archival material which will be deposited at the NFC for posterity, with two documentaries covering the collecting process being aired on RTÉ this autumn. If you would like to contribute to the project, please reach out to us at bealoideas@ucd.ie To take me through the project, and to discuss this phase of our history in more detail I’m honoured to be joined by my friend and colleague Dr. Críostóir Mac Cárthaigh, Director of the National Folklore Collection. Join us as we discuss silence, memory and the trauma of war. Audio timecodes: 10:58: Commandant Horgan in conversation with Séamas Mac Philib, 20 May 1980. Horgan explains how he and his brother were on opposite sides of the conflict, and how his mother would keep them separate when they would visit the family home. 14:36: Kathleen Farell in conversation with Séamas Mac Philib, 6 March 1980. Kathleen describes how IRA men were hidden in her house. 16:10: Patrick Galvin in conversation with Séamas Mac Philib, 10 January 1980. Patrick describes how he was unable to return to his job after the Civil War, and was fired when it was learnt that he had fought on the anti-Treaty side. 32:22: Patrick Galvin in conversation with Séamas Mac Philib, 10 January 1980. Patrick relates how it was difficult to shoot against former friends and comrades. Describes the 'great boys' he fought alongside in 1916 and in the 'Tan War' (the War of Independence) but states that everyone has a certain principle by which they must stand. 39:03: John O'Brien in conversation with Séamas Mac Philib, 04 November 1979. John relates local information concerning the assassination of Michael Collins. Is reluctant to share what he has heard out of respect for local families, and remarks that it could be dangerous.

To mark 100 years since the signing of the treaty, I joined my colleague at the National Folklore Collection, Ailbe van der Heide, to discuss her work in researching, editing and transcribing Urban Folklore Project recordings dealing with this tumultuous period of Irish history.The 1979-1980 Urban Folklore Project originated as a Government employment scheme to provide work for university graduates at a time of severe economic recession in 1979-1980. The project was undertaken by the Department of Irish Folklore, University College Dublin, directed by Dr Séamas Ó Catháin, and consists of over 700 tape recorded interviews which today form part of the National Folklore Collection, University College Dublin. Among the recordings are featured vivid contemporary accounts of the War of Independence as well as material concerning the Easter Rising of 1916 and the Irish Civil War.Join us as we listen to the combatants and bystanders who bore witness to the burnings, raids and guerrilla warfare of the War of Independence, and who worked as part of a hidden network operating under the watchful eye of the crown forces and intelligence services.

Folklore Fragments Podcast - EP32 - Mushrooms in Tradition UCD - University College Dublin 2021-11-03 | With the coming of the cool wet weather of autumn, life begins to turn inward again. The fields lie fallow and bare, flowers wither, leaves decay, and all life seems to return to the earth. It's in this period of fading light, that strange and beautiful forms begin to arise from the undergrowth in the temperate regions all over Europe. In woodlands, fields, gardens and along roadsides, colourful fungi and mushrooms of all shapes and sizes quietly spring forth and flourish as if from nowhere, while all else appears in a state of decline.A short entry in volume 1670 of the Main Manuscript Collection at the NFC contains information collected from around Ireland on the topic of mushrooms in folk tradition. The material contained in this volume, previously unpublished and explored in this podcast episode, explores traditional attitudes to mushrooms in Irish tradition and outlines their uses along with popular beliefs concerning them. Audio from the NFC sound archive also features, along with audio material from the collections of the Irish Traditional Music Archive and the singing group Landless.My thanks to archivist Danielle Castronovo at the Economic Botany Herbarium of Oakes Ames, Harvard University for her help in filling the gaps of some correspondence between R. Gordon Wasson and the Irish Folklore Commission. My thanks to archivist Maeve Gebreurs at the Irish Traditional Music Archive for forwarding Diane Hamilton's 1957 recording of Robert Cinnamond's rendition of the song 'Gathering Mushrooms'. Thanks likewise to Emmett Gill, archivist at Na Píobairí Uileann for pointing me in the direction of the collection of which this song is a part.

Folklore Fragments Podcast - EP31 - The Púca (with Aidan Harte) UCD - University College Dublin 2021-08-20 | For this episode of Folklore Fragments / Blúiríní Béaloidis, Johnny is joined by sculptor Aidan Harte, whose recent work 'The Púca of Ennistymon' was commissioned by Clare county Council for the town of Ennistymon in the west of Ireland. The piece caused widespread controversy and made headlines nationally and internationally over the summer, being denounced as a pagan idol and sinister statue irreflective of the character and heritage of the town. In the course of our discussion Aidan and I examine the controversy and differing opinions regarding the statue, before taking a closer look at the figure of the Púca himself.The Púca is a solitary spirit in Irish folk tradition. A wanderer of the night, tradition tells us that he is often found in lonely portions of the rural landscape beyond the confines of the town; gambolling and sporting to himself amidst the hayfields in autumn, spoiling the fruit of the roadside with the coming of winter or haunting lonely glens, caves, chasms, cliffs, pools, forts, woods and castles across Ireland that bear his name. His shape is amorphous - many mushrooms are named after him, and he may appear to wayfarers on the road at night as a horse, a goat, a dog, a man or as a streak of light. Those who meet with him in lonely places at night relate how he hoists them up on his back before embarking on a breakneck cross-country ride; leaping over ditches and through hedges, or running along cliff edges frightening and tormenting his unhappy passenger. Other accounts relate the ways in which the Púca protects those whom he meets; safeguarding them against some worse fate at the hands of otherworld beings, or protecting castles and large estates as a sort of tutelary figure or house spirit. Join us as we explore this chaotic and shadowy figure of 'malignancy and mischief'.Some sources drawn on for this episode:The Eldritch World, Nigel Pennick (Arcana Europea 2019)Irish Names of Places, Patrick Weston Joyce (M.
