Nora 'Nono' McHugh from Galway is a true pioneer in Irish sport. She made history in 1973 as the first-ever captain of the Irish Women's National Football Team, leading her squad to a memorable victory against Wales. But her love of sport began long before that, from kicking a ball on the streets of the Claddagh to playing every game imaginable in the Swamp, her journey is one of passion, grit, and unwavering determination. Nono's sporting success spans far beyond football, with remarkable achievements across many sports including Gaelic football, camogie, badminton and more. Her dedication and contribution to Irish sport has been recognised nationally and locally with her induction into the FAI Hall of Fame last year, and more recently, she received the prestigious Galway Sports Stars Hall of Fame Award. Nono takes us on a heartfelt journey through her life, sharing vivid stories from her early days growing up in the Claddagh, her adventures in sport both at home and abroad, and the challenges of balancing athletic ambition with personal responsibilities. She reflects on the power of sport to shape identity and build community, offering her signature wit and wisdom along the way. Now in her 70s, Nono remains as active as ever, swimming daily at Blackrock in Salthill, going to the gym, and staying deeply connected to her local sporting communities. She's a firm believer that staying active and finding a supportive and encouraging community is key, especially as we age. Despite her incredible athletic accomplishments, Nono's humility shines through, for her, the greatest reward is the pride and recognition of her family. This episode is more than a celebration of Nono's life in sport,  it's a powerful reminder that passion, perseverance, and a sense of community matter at every stage of life. No matter your age or ability, there's always a place for sport in your story.

Der Ring besteht aus zwei Händen, die ein Herz halten, das von einer Krone gekrönt ist. Die Hände stehen für Freundschaft, das Herz für Liebe und die Krone für Loyalität. Der Name Claddagh kommt von einem kleinen Fischerdorf in der Nähe von Galway, wo der Ring seinen Ursprung haben soll.

Rent the Runway has taken home the Best Application of Artificial Intelligence in a Company Award at the prestigious ITAG (Innovation Technology AtlanTec Gateway) Excellence Awards held recently in The Hardiman in Galway. Rent the Runway's European software and technology hub employs around 70 people at its base in the Piscatorial School in the Claddagh area in the heart of Galway. At the awards, Rent the Runway was shortlisted three times across three separate categories. The Best Application of AI award was given to Rent the Runway for their creation and deployment of a new proprietary machine learning algorithm that has improved the company's text search function with significant, measurable results. The AI search now allows users to explore the Rent the Runway site with outfit descriptions, such as "pink sparkly Barbie dress", or to search for outfits suitable for specific occasions like "Weekend Brunch" or "Holidays to Greece." Rent the Runway's fashion buyers are also benefiting from the new machine learning-powered search service and use it for language-driven searches of historical inventory to inform their purchasing decisions for upcoming seasons. "The need for the AI-driven solution arose from the increasing challenge of helping users find relevant styles beyond simple keyword matches", said Dorothy Creaven, Vice President, Managing Director and site lead at Rent the Runway in Galway. "Traditional search methods had become unscalable due to the diversity of search queries, and we are delighted to see the team's innovations and efforts recognised and rewarded by the wider tech community." Rent the Runway established its European technology hub in Galway in April 2019 and is Rent the Runway's first international office outside the US. The award-winning team in Galway tackles core technology challenges and influences the next generation of services critical to Rent The Runway's success and continued growth. Founded in 2000, ITAG's mission as a non-profit tech association is to develop technology innovation along the AtlanTec Gateway. The itag awards annually showcase the top talent in technology in the West of Ireland. See more stories here.

Os anéis maçônicos e seus significados

Os maçons são bem conhecidos por nossas insígnias, desde o avental que amanhecemos ao entrar pela primeira vez na loja, até os gorros que ganhamos nos últimos graus dos órgãos anexos. Embora os aventais sejam de fato a parte mais proeminente do traje maçônico, pois cada maçom recebe um ao se tornar um Aprendiz, os anéis também se tornaram um acessório comum na fraternidade. Embora os anéis não sejam dados aos Irmãos como parte de suas jornadas no ofício, muitos os recebem de familiares, como pai ou avô, ao atingirem o sublime grau de Mestre Maçom. Como parte de nossa série “Por trás do símbolo”, exploraremos a história antiga dos anéis, o “debate” sobre como os maçons os usam e alguns dos diferentes estilos encontrados em toda a fraternidade. Anéis e seu antigo simbolismo Como muito do simbolismo encontrado na Maçonaria, os anéis são usados por culturas há milhares de anos. Os antigos egípcios acreditam que o buraco do anel representava a porta de entrada para a vida após a morte e o amor imortal. Os romanos começaram a tradição das alianças de casamento, com os homens oferecendo a suas parceiras anéis de ferro chamados Anulus Pronubus para usar na mão esquerda, acreditando que estavam conectados diretamente ao coração. Na Irlanda e em partes dos Estados Unidos, o anel de Claddagh continua sendo uma tradição popular. Esses anéis irlandeses, simbolizando amizade, amor e lealdade, apresentam duas mãos segurando um coração coroado e são frequentemente transmitidos de geração em geração. Anéis maçônicos e corpos anexos Na Maçonaria, o anel em si pode simbolizar a eternidade ou a conexão duradoura com a fraternidade. Esta peça de regalia ganhou destaque no artesanato durante os séculos XVIII e XIX. A Maçonaria estava no auge de sua popularidade e os anéis permitiam que os irmãos se identificassem em público. Para muitos hoje, o anel maçônico representa o compromisso de um irmão com os segredos, lições e tradições do ofício. Como a loja em si não fornece um anel a cada membro, eles geralmente são dados como um presente, geralmente de pai para filho, ou avô para neto, quando o membro mais jovem é criado como Mestre Maçom. Como tal, os anéis maçônicos são emblemas profundamente pessoais e seu significado varia de membro para membro. Esses artigos de joalheria não se limitam apenas aos maçons da loja azul. Membros do Rito de York, Rito Escocês e Shriners geralmente usam anéis gravados com símbolos relevantes para esses corpos anexos. Por exemplo, no Rito Escocês, Jurisdição Maçônica do Norte dos Estados Unidos, os maçons do Rito Escocês do 32º Grau podem usar um anel com a águia de duas cabeças do Rito Escocês. Outros símbolos comuns encontrados nos anéis do grau 32 incluem o número 32, triângulos e a letra hebraica “yod”. Outra característica que pode determinar o significado de um anel são as pedras ou gravuras que os maçons escolhem incluir neles. Pedras azuis são comuns para os membros que recebem um anel na loja azul. As pedras vermelhas são regularmente escolhidas para os Irmãos que concluíram o quarto grau da Maçonaria do Real Arco ou para os membros do Santuário. Os diferentes significados dos símbolos dos anéis maçônicos Além do significado pessoal, os anéis maçônicos geralmente apresentam outros símbolos da Maçonaria, como a letra “G” ou o esquadro e o compasso, todos com significado único. Na maioria das vezes, os anéis incluem o esquadro, o compasso e a letra “G”. O esquadro e o compasso são um dos símbolos mais famosos e identificáveis da Maçonaria, significando as ferramentas do arquiteto e do construtor. Este símbolo refere-se aos antigos pedreiros de onde surgiu a Maçonaria e é uma parte crítica da nossa história. Este símbolo também faz parte das aulas ministradas na loja maçônica. O esquadro e o compasso consistem no esquadro do construtor: dois braços iguais de metal ou madeira de borda plana fixos que formam um “ângulo reto” perfeito. Esta ferramenta é crítica na alvenaria porque permite que os artesãos desenhem e esculpam cantos quadrados perfeitos, o que é crítico para erguer edifícios estruturalmente fortes e sólidos. Na Maçonaria, este símbolo é usado para ensinar lições de moralidade e que ser “quadrado” em suas ações implica ser honesto e justo. As bússolas consistem em duas pernas iguais em comprimento que são fixadas juntas em seu ápice por uma dobradiça ajustável. Esta ferramenta é usada em geometria para desenhar círculos e arcos perfeitos, um elemento crucial do planejamento arquitetônico. Na loja azul, os compassos simbolizam o autocontrole e a capacidade do homem de reinar em seus anseios para que possa viver uma vida equilibrada. A letra “G” é mais comumente encontrada nos Estados Unidos e geralmente aparece no centro do esquadro e do compasso. Alguns maçons acham que o “G” se refere à geometria, um conceito central para as lições de moral maçônica com construtores e arquitetos, enquanto outros o veem como uma referência a Deus, ou o “Grande Arquiteto do Universo”. Como usar um anel maçônico Não há necessariamente uma maneira correta de usar qualquer um dos anéis maçônicos, independentemente de seu simbolismo. Mas pergunte a um viajante e há uma boa chance de que ele tenha uma opinião própria sobre o que é certo. Alguns acreditam que um anel com o esquadro e o compasso deve ser usado com as pontas voltadas para o coração como um lembrete das obrigações do maçom. Para um Venerável Mestre ou Past-Mestre de uma Loja, acredita-se que eles tenham conhecimento suficiente para virar o anel para fora e exibir os pontos em direção ao mundo. Mais funcionalmente – embora menos comum hoje em dia, os maçons costumavam usar anéis como forma de selar as letras com cera. Esses maçons usariam seus anéis com as pontas dos compassos voltadas para fora, de modo que, quando pressionado em cera quente, selando uma carta ou contrato, o emblema estaria voltado para a direção correta. Como um Irmão escolhe usar um anel e quais símbolos estão estampados nele é uma escolha pessoal. Acima de tudo, os anéis maçônicos devem ser usados com orgulho e reverência à nossa fraternidade e suas antigas tradições. Quando usado com cuidado e consideração, é uma excelente maneira de demonstrar o orgulho de ser maçom. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/malhete-podcast/message

A collector of sentimental jewelry across several periods, Beth is a jewelry consultant and author of “The Modern Guide to Antique Jewelry.” She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about how antique jewelry periods are defined; what make a collector a collector; and how to keep antique jewelry in good condition without putting it away forever in a safe. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the first part of a two-part episode. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week. Today my guest is jewelry author, journalist, historian and consultant Beth Bernstein. She is the author of several books including “If These Jewels Could Talk,” “My Charmed Life,” “Jewelry's Shining Stars” and the recent and very readable “The Modern Guide to Antique Jewelry.” We will hear more about her jewelry journey today. Beth, welcome. Beth: Hi. So nice to be here. Sharon: It's great to have you. Beth, can you tell us a little bit about your jewelry journey? Did you like jewelry when you were young? Beth: Oh, yes. My favorite thing was to wear a tiara. Most young girls, I would say, think they're princesses, but I have a cute little story to tell. I had my appendix out when I was six, which is really young to have your appendix out. For some reason, they made me a Frankenstein scar. I hated the scar. Back then, they kept you in the hospital for two weeks. It really was the most horrible scar, so my mom wanted to make me feel like I was beautiful. Back then, Bloomingdale's in New York was the store you went to. So, we go to Bloomingdale's—I always had dime-store tiaras, the plastic rhinestone tiaras—and in the window I see this tiara-like headband dripping with Swarovski crystals. Later I found out my mom described it as the most ostentatious headpiece or even worse than that. Anyway, we go in. I'm l like, “I want that. I want that.” So, we go into the store, and she pulls over the salesperson. I didn't know this at that time, but I heard the story later on. She said, “Bring her out a lot of jewels. I'll make up a story about this one, but bring her out something for her age, like a little tiara-like headband thing.” She said to me, “I have to tell you something the salesgirl just told me. The tiara you love is reserved for a duchess from a faraway land.” I went, “Oh, my god, I have such good taste,” and she said, “You have royal taste, right?” From then on, I believed I had royal taste, and I got a pretty seed pearl headband, quite advanced for my age. I've loved jewelry ever since I was young. My mom wasn't a big jewelry fan, but my grandmother was. My grandparents didn't have a lot of money, but she saved, and she'd go to secondhand stores. I think they were like pawn shops. She'd find these gorgeous Art Deco jewelry there, and she'd get them for a great price. She had some faux and real. I would go over to her house, and she'd let me stay up way past when my mother would let me stay up, and we would watch a Late Movie. Most people don't remember the Late Movie, but it had movies like To Catch a Thief and Breakfast at Tiffany's, and even melodramas like Madame X and Back Street. I would watch all these wonderful movies, Marlene Dietrich movies, and I loved the jewelry. So, we'd dress up in jewelry while we were watching the movies. She'd pour ginger ale in champagne glasses, and we'd drink like we were drinking champagne. The next day we'd go out and buy the jewelry at Woolworths, the five and dime, like we saw in the movies, but for 10 cents. It was all plastic and rhinestone jewelry. It was a lot of fun. So, yeah, I've always loved jewelry. Sharon: Would you say that's why you started liking jewelry? Because of the tiara and dressing up with your grandmother? Beth: Yeah, and the movies. I was always very into movies, which is why I wrote “If These Jewels Could Talk.” It connects the celebrities in the movies to the back stories. I'm as much of a jewelry geek as I am a movie geek. I think it was the fun and the glamor of it as a kid. I'll be very honest; it was at a time when I was probably eleven and my parents started talking about divorce. They got divorced when I was 13. So, it was a time in my life when I needed something to escape from all of that. It was a good escape to get into the glamor of those old movies and the jewelry. When I was six, having my appendix out and having that horrible scar, putting that thing on my head actually did make me feel pretty and like a duchess from a faraway land. I did start believing I had royal taste. Sharon: That's funny. I've heard several people say they liked tiaras when they were younger. I'm not sure I knew what a tiara was then. As you got older, did your education bring you to jewelry? Beth: Not really, because I was an English major and a psychology minor. Basically, I was writing poetry and short stories, wanting to be the great American novelist and poetess. I was doing really well in school. I was going to Boston University. I had some poetry and short stories published, and I was editor of the literary journal. My father owned textile mills in Italy and my mother, when she went back to work after my parents got divorced, became a senior vice president of a huge sportswear company. There were fashion and textiles in my blood. So, I was going to school, and my father said, “I'm not going to support you while you're a starving writer trying to write poetry or a novel. Write about what you know. Write about fashion.” I said, “Absolutely not,” even though I love fashion. But then I did start writing about fashion. My first story was actually for McCall's magazine about rust-proofing your car, because I was a non-fiction assistant editor. I got turned down from Condé Nast and Hearst because I didn't type enough words a minute. I was typing on a regular typewriter, and I was just under. But McCall's didn't give you a typing test, so that was my first job. After McCall's magazine, I started working as a freelancer. I wrote about fashion. I also styled fashion shoots, but my favorite thing to style was jewelry and, for some reason, shoes. When I went to the big houses in New York, like Carolina Herrera and Oscar de la Renta and Donna Karan, I loved to see what jewelry they were going to sell with their collections. Eventually, I continued to write about fashion for a bunch of magazines. Then, all of a sudden, I came up with an idea for a jewelry collection. Prior to that, I also became a wardrobe stylist for TV. I styled for MTV, Showtime, Comedy Central, all the cable channels. While I was doing that, because of all my contacts in jewelry through styling and by writing about jewelry and fashion, I had a sort of a collection. So, I knew who to go to to put the collection together. I went to this one company where I was very good friends with the owner, and he said, “Oh yeah, it's a great idea. I think it would sell great at Henri Bendel.” This was when Henri Bendel was really cool. So, I thought it would be a collection for Bendel. He helped me put it together, because I didn't know about castings and all that kind of thing. It sold at Bendel. Then a friend of mine, who was an actor and a comedian while I was in wardrobe styling, said, “Why don't you start your own jewelry company? You have really great ideas,” and I said, “You know what? O.K.” That was how my life went. I was like, “O.K., I'll go from fashion into wardrobe styling then to jewelry,” because I really did love jewelry. Sharon: You were designing it, too. Wow! Beth: Yes, now I'm designing it. I started a small collection, and it sold to over 250 stores. However, I was selling to Barneys New York, Beverly Hills and Chicago and Barneys Japan, but that was Barneys first Chapter 11. They owed me a ton of money, and I didn't know how I was going to produce for the other stores. So, long story short, they owed me a ton of money, but they kept us all in the stores and paid us up front to keep going, but we never got the money they owed us. I was really stretched to the limit because I literally wasn't making any other money. So, I started writing about jewelry because I knew more about it. Now, I knew about casting and setting and how to do waxes and all that. I wasn't doing it, but I knew all about that, so I started writing about jewelry for magazines I had worked with and other people in fashion had recommended. I was also very good at revamping magazines, making them more modern and into the future. So, I started writing while I was also designing jewelry. That's how it all happened. With Barneys, I got 30 cents on the dollar. Six years later, which is when I finally closed my business—back then, they rarely liked independent designers. There was only so much money to be made. I made so many mistakes with reps. A jewelry designer who was very smart said to me, “The worst thing that could happen to you is not having your own name on a collection,” and I said, “No, the worst thing that could happen is not having a volume, because I've been writing all my life.” He said, “So, you have the answer. Go design for these big designers. Get paid well and keep your bylines. Keep writing.” That's exactly what I did. Then I decided it was the smaller designers that needed my help. So, I started my own company to help small, independent designers with marketing, merchandising design and writing their press kits, as I was still writing for magazines. I'm answering you before you're even asking me a question. Sharon: No, this is free form. Go ahead. Beth: Basically, while I was doing all these different things, I started to collect antique jewelry. I had this feeling for antique jewelry. I love the idea of old mine cuts and the old rose cut diamonds. I didn't like a lot of bling or sparkle. I love the meaning behind Victorian jewelry. As I was collecting from the dealers, I was learning little by little. There were a lot of jewelers in New York back then. Eventually, I picked out a ring in the case at an amazing Madison Avenue shop, and she said, “It's one of my favorite rings in the case.” She and I had just met, and she's since passed away. I usually dedicate my books to my mom or my grandmother or both. My mom passed away young, and my grandmother lived until 97. They were the real inspirations in my life, but I dedicated “The Modern Guide to Antique Jewelry” to Hazel Halperin because she taught me so much of what I know. When I picked out the ring, she said, “It's a favorite in my case. I do layaways, so you can pay it off.” I'm like, “Great.” Then she said, “Do you want to come work for me?” and I said, “You don't know me. How do you know you can even trust me?” She said, “I know I can trust you. Every ring you picked out in the case is my best ring. It's like you have an eye for this.” She gave me books to bring home every weekend to read. I went to work for her on weekends. I was working seven days a week doing writing for magazines, still some consulting work, some custom work, and working for her, learning about antique jewelry on weekends. That really helped me learn how to collect antique jewelry. Through her, I was able to go to the big antique shows and meet other dealers, whom I still know to this day. A lot of them are still alive and are quoted in the book, because I've been dealing with them for 25 years. That's how that came about. Sharon: Did learning how to collect antique jewelry help you learn how to collect in general, or was it only antique? Beth: Only antique. Because I designed modern jewelry, I knew what I liked about modern jewelry. With antique, she taught me things to look for, like if something was repurposed, if something was put together, like if the shank was added later than the actual front of the ring. She taught me a lot of different aspects about antique jewelry. She taught me about the time periods and how to identify them. She taught me so much, and the books she had me bring home to read taught me a lot, too. She was a wonderful teacher. She'd always throw in a little story about my life as it was at that time, and how dating would relate to some jewelry stories. She was funny and I just loved her. She really helped. Sharon: Was she your inspiration? She was an inspiration for the antique jewelry book, but was she an inspiration for your other jewelry books, like “My Charmed Life”? Beth: Well, “My Charmed Life” isn't a jewelry book. It's a memoir. It's called “My Charmed Life.” Penguin published it in 2012. I'll tell you about why it's called “My Charmed Life.” It's “My Charmed Life” and the subtitle is “Rocky Romances, Precious Family Connections and Searching For a Band of Gold.” I was writing a memoir. It was a bit different because I also wrote first-person essays for women's magazines on dating, relationships and family. They always had to have some humor, so I knew that anything heartfelt also had to have a bit of humor. If it's grief, it has to have humor. So, I learned the combination of doing that, and I love writing those kinds of things. So, I was working on a memoir, and I kept hearing the word, “Platform. You need a platform.” I thought, “I have a platform in jewelry, but that's not going to work with this memoir, so I need to change it up a bit.” So, I connected different pieces. Every chapter starts with a piece of jewelry. There's love beads. There's solitary rings. There's the Claddagh ring from when I was going out with the Irish guy. There were a lot of different chapters. It was all metaphor for what I was talking about, and that was chapters from a young age up to age 50. It wasn't really about the pieces of jewelry; it was about what was going in my life and the jewelry related to that. People call it a jewelry book, but it wasn't. When you start reading it, you'll realize that it's really a book about life. It's universal. It's about parents divorcing, parents dying young, family relationships, relationships with nieces and nephews, being single when your younger brothers have kids, and all these different things women can relate to. What links do you like more than jewelry? It's the mosaic ashtray you make for mom in day camp that she still kept, or when she got divorced, how she traded in her Jackie O. pearls for love beads, which were my love beads. She was wearing my love beads because she was a young mom who got divorced. It was the 70s and she wanted to be cool. So, it was all about that. That was the first book. The second book was about emerging modern jewelers who I got to know from consulting and writing about them. I wrote about 38 designers who I thought really had it. These days, the market is saturated with modern designers. Stephen Webster was an amazing designer. I thought, “Who can write the forward for this book?” I went to Stephen because we were friends, and they knew he'd do a great job because he was once an emerging designer himself. He was funny, and he had all that heartfelt humor. He was a bench jeweler. He wrote a great forward. He said, “You're going to have to really fix this up,” and all I had to do was fix one word that I didn't think was right because it was very British, and I didn't think everyone would understand. Stephen had to fix one word. It was such a great book. The next book was “If These Jewels Could Talk: The Legends Behind Celebrity Gems.” That was about the stories behind celebrity jewelry and celebrity jewelry houses, like Van Cleef & Arpels, who made the jewelry for celebrities and films, and how the jewelry helped character development. I was very into the films, as I said. One of my friends said, “You wanted to write that book 20 years ago.” I said, “Yeah, I did,” because of my geekiness about film and because I could remember every line in certain films I loved. I learned more about who owned the jewelry as I was writing the book. Back then, a lot of the big stars like Marlene Dietrich and Grace Kelly—when she was Grace Kelly and before she was princess of Monaco—wore their own jewelry. Joan Crawford wore all of her own jewelry in films. Elizabeth Taylor wore her own jewelry in certain films. When it came to awards shows, when they were televised, they wore their own jewelry. It was really interesting. I loved writing that book as well. And then here we are with “The Modern Guide to Antique Jewelry.” I'm not only writing a book about antique jewelry, but I think—once again, I'm going on without you asking me a question. We will have photos posted on the website. Please head to TheJewelryJourney.com to check them out.   Thank you again for listening. Please leave us a rating and review so we can help others start their own jewelry journey.

On this St. Patrick's Day, I bring you a conversation with Jennifer Deibel about her newest book, The Lady of Galway Manor, which released in February From the publisher (Revell): New to the historical romance genre, novelist Jennifer Deibel made her mark on readers in 2021 with A Dance in Donegal, a stunning debut full of romance and mystery in the lush Irish countryside. Influenced by her experience on the Emerald Isle, Deibel now delivers more of the lively sights, sounds, smells, and language of this colorful country in her sophomore novel, The Lady of Galway Manor. Annabeth De Lacy's father is appointed as the new landlord of Galway County, Ireland, in 1920, amid the Irish War of Independence. Adjusting to a slower pace in Ireland leaves Annabeth itching to use her design prowess, and with the help of her father, she finagles an apprenticeship at a local jeweler—the home of the famed Claddagh ring. Stephen Jennings is sick of romance. Unfortunately, he's surrounded by it. The Jenningses' jewelry shop is built on the Claddagh legend and the optimistic promises of love that it holds. Disillusioned by a heartbreak at an early age, how can Stephen peddle a “lie” that he no longer believes in? When Annabeth becomes his new apprentice, worlds collide. She's English, he's Irish—somehow, they must manage their working relationship and their differences. But as tensions in the city rise, the Irish locals take matters into their own hands, which spells trouble for the De Lacys. Will Stephen and Annabeth see that perhaps the “other side” isn't quite as barbaric and uncultured as they'd been led to believe? Working together, they just might find that the bonds of friendship, love, and loyalty are only made stronger when put through the refiner's fire. Uncovering the true meaning of loyalty and friendship, Deibel's lyrical prose will redefine home through the lens of culture, history, and family in The Lady of Galway Manor.

If you believe the locals, then Galway is the beating heart of Irish culture. You can't go far without tripping over a castle or abbey, and parts of the city have strong Latin and Spanish influences. Start with a relaxing stroll round the medieval Latin Quarter. It's full of charming shops selling arts and crafts. You can look for traditional knitwear, cute pottery and lovely jewelry. Even if you don't buy a thing, the live music in the streets will keep you entertained. At the south end of the Latin Quarter, pass through the 18th-century Spanish Arch. Sit on the grass and enjoy tandoori chicken, pizza or crepes — the Irish love all foods and aren't fussy. Get your daily steps with a walk to the Claddagh, a former fishing village where the River Corrib feeds Galway Bay. Watch kayakers enjoy the river, or people diving off the board on Salthill Promenade. Budget some time and money for a day trip to Kylemore Abbey. The abbey was founded in 1920 by nuns who fled Belgium during World War I. They've been in Kylemore Castle since then. Take a tour of the abbey to learn about its fascinating, sad history. Then, get some fresh air with a walk of its large Victorian walled garden. It's a 15-minute drive from the abbey to Dunguaire Castle, a 16th-century castle overlooking a bay and the small village of Kinvara. Parts of the castle have been restored, and the rooms give a taste of what life might have been like for its owners. Climb the spiral staircase and step out onto cramped battlements for a great view of the countryside. (T) This article was provided by The Japan Times Alpha.

Truth is often stranger than fiction. Four men left Galway in their Hooker, to catch some herring. They ended up in New York, 3,000 miles away, were presumed dead, and eventually made their way home, penniless to Galway. The year was 1876. One of the men, Michael Moran had served in the Union Army and fought at Shenandoah, before returning to the Claddagh, vowing never to return... but the sea had other ideas! "Psalm 107 : 23-31 They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!" ------ I hope you are enjoying these stories, oh, and if you are, do please share them with your friends and family. I record these stories with Tom O'Connor of O'Connor's Bar, in Salthill, more commonly known as 'O'Connor's Famous Bar, Salthill' because of its unique atmosphere, friendly welcome and amazing music each night!

This week Conor Tallon and Curator Michael Waldron are looking at Grace Henry's Claddagh Market, Galway... Around this time of the year on the 8th of December we see the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping calendar in Ireland. Known as the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, in years past the day saw rural shoppers visiting large towns and cities.Although not essentially a Christmas scene, Claddagh Market, Galway (1916-18) by Grace Henry captures the hustle and bustle of open-air shopping in the West of Ireland. The rounded forms of women in patterned shawls contrast with the geometric shapes of the market stalls, as thatched cottages of The Claddagh can be seen in the background.The Claddagh, a fishing village across the river from Spanish Arch and Galway city, is perhaps best known today for the ring – with hands, heart, and crown – that takes its name.Scottish artist Grace Henry (1868-1953) painted Claddagh Market, Galway during the decade she spent living on Achill Island with then husband, and fellow artist, Paul Henry (1876-1958). Post-Impressionist in style, this relatively small painting modulates strong brushwork with earth tones and sparing use of bold colour.Emily Grace Mitchell (Henry) hailed from a coastal town north of Aberdeen, but was to study at the Académie Delécluse in Paris. In 1920, she was a founding member of the Society of Dublin Painters with Letitia Marion Hamilton, Paul Henry, Mary Swanzy, and Jack B. Yeats.

Parmi les premiers secteurs frappés par l’épidémie de Covid : le tourisme. En Irlande, la saison s’annonçait catastrophique. L’île a accueilli en 2019 plus de 10 millions de visiteurs étrangers, attirés par ses paysages pittoresques et sa culture traditionnelle. Pour compenser, le gouvernement incite les citoyens à « staycationner », comprendre passer les vacances dans le pays. Reportage de notre correspondante qui s’est rendue dans la région de Galway, l’une des destinations les plus prisées d’Irlande, pour faire le bilan de cette saison pas comme les autres. Avec son épouse et leurs deux enfants, John Obourne avait prévu des vacances au soleil, Covid oblige, ils ont dû renoncer. « On serait allés faire du camping en Espagne, mais bon, on vient de passer trois jours ici, la semaine dernière on était dans le nord. C’est magnifique, super, il y a juste la pluie qui limite les possibilités ! » Dans les rues pavées de la ville, beaucoup de visiteurs, masque sur le nez et accent très irlandais. Le soir, difficile de trouver une table dans les restaurants, comme chez Quays, tenu par Seamus McGettigan : « On bosse aussi bien que possible, compte tenu des restrictions et des protocoles. Je dirai qu’on est à 35-40% de ce qu’on aurait fait normalement, mais on reçoit des gens de tout le pays, ça fait plaisir à voir ! Bon, ce n’est pas l’idéal, mais ça nous permet de tenir, c’est le plus important. » Et pourtant, Galway en 2020 n’a rien à voir avec la Galway des étés précédents. C’est l’atmosphère qui a changé. La guide touristique, Christelle Ward est installée depuis vingt ans à Galway : « A cette époque de l’année, il y a plein d'attroupements. Les gens qui se rassemblent pour voir une danseuse irlandaise, des jeunes en train de jouer de la musique. Là, il n’y a pas tout ça, il ne se passe absolument rien… Zéro ! Le dernier groupe que j’ai eu, moi, c’était fin janvier. Il y a encore du monde dans les rues, même ce matin on a vu les livraisons, mais ce n’est pas la même atmosphère. » Car les seuls visiteurs sont des Irlandais. Et ils ne consomment pas le tourisme comme le ferait un étranger. Niall McNelis tient le magasin Claddagh, qui commercialise l’anneau en argent représentant deux mains autour d’un cœur, symbole de Galway prisé des touristes internationaux : « Là, on a perdu 80% par rapport à l’année dernière, On est très orientés touristes américains. Mais les Irlandais en vacances ne viennent pas faire du shopping, ils viennent boire, manger, se divertir. Mais on a confiance, ça reprendra l’année prochaine, quand les touristes reviendront. » Avec la rentrée scolaire et les restrictions de voyage, le mois de septembre s’annonce terne. Alors, la Chambre de commerce de la région cherche à stimuler Galway autrement. Kenny Deery, son directeur : « Il faut qu’on se réoriente sur nos possibilités de télétravail. Quelqu’un qui travaille à Dublin, ou dans une autre ville et qui travaille principalement sur Zoom... Venez, venez à Galway ! Profitez de vacances à la mer, en travaillant la journée. Pourquoi pas ! » La ville espère aussi bénéficier de son statut de capitale européenne de la culture qui aura permis de financer plusieurs campagnes publicitaires.

We don’t travel in big tour buses and see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to Know the region through its culture, history, and legends. Plus, I bring you some great Celtic music by me and other Celtic artists. We're going to Brittany in 2017. Subscribe to the mailing list to join the invasion at celticinvasion.com   Notes: * Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. * If you joined me on Facebook over the past couple o'weeks, you would've read a bunch of Celtic Music Spotlights. If you ever wanted to find out more about the bands in the show, these short features are both informative and fun. Plus, this week, we posted a list of upcoming Celtic festivals for the next month. I'm hoping that will be a new regular feature. * My band, Kilted Kings, plays heroic, Celtic world music in kilts. We have a new Kickstarter with just two weeks to go. The Wee Heavies are also crowfunding their second album on Indiegogo. * I want to thank my Celtic Superstars: Derek Lineberry, Lynda MacNeil, Peter Tilghman, Steven, Bryan Brake, John Sharkey White, II, Theresa Sullivan, John Bilderback, Rian P Kegerreis, Johnny Berry, Shawn Cali. They all pledge $10 or more per episode. Your generosity is just amazing. I was looking at your past donations, and, wow! You are all too kind. Thank you so much! I also want to thank our newest patron, JJmollpus, who signed up this week and brought us a wee bit closer to our next Milestone. We're now $46 away from a goal that will bring you two-hours of Celtic Women in your earbuds. We've had that goal sitting there for a while. It's time to up the ante. If we can raise that $46 per episode before the end of September, to hit that next milestone, then I will extend the next three shows in October by 30 minutes. Yes. There will be a lot of music. You'll get a 2-hour special on Celtic Women. And you'll get three hour and half shows. And remember that your generosity will also go back into our Celtic community because I donate 10% of your pledges to Celtic non-profits.

Craig Winterburn shared a picture and wrote on Facebook: "Been missing this show so bad. Been living in fields for some weeks in my yurt and with a new phone and terrible reception couldn't hook up properly. Love it. Thanks Mark." Jan Czenkusch emailed a picture: "This time we are on I 72 heading to Weston, Missouri. We are going to catch a Tullamore show at O'Malleys."
