jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2d52u8pp Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com New information about WB Yeats' remains available in State documents. Eolas nua faoi thaisí WB Yeats ar fáil i gcáipéisí an Stáit. RTÉ News and Current Affairs The Department of Foreign Affairs decided to suppress information given to them in the late seventies about the remains of the poet WB Yeats. Nuacht agus Cúrsaí Reatha RTÉ Chinn an Roinn Gnóthaí Eachtracha eolas a tugadh dóibh ag deireadh na seachtóidí faoi thaisí an fhile W B Yeats a chur faoi chois. In fact, the Department thought that a member of the famous Gluckstein family in London was blackmailing the State when he claimed to have evidence that the bones were not WB's. Go deimhin, shíl an Roinn go raibh ball de theaghlach cáiliúil Gluckstein i Londain ag déanamh dúmhál ar an Stát nuair a mhaígh sé go raibh fianaise aige nárbh iad cnámha W.B. Yeats was buried in Sligo. Yeats a bhí curtha i Sligeach. It emerged 10 years ago in French State documents that the remains buried in the cemetery in Drumcliabh in Sligo are unlikely to be those of WB Yeats. Tháinig sé chun solais 10 mbliana ó shin i gcáipéisí Stáit de chuid na Fraince nach dócha gur taisí W B Yeats atá curtha sa reilig i nDroim Chliabh i Sligeach. The poet died in Roquebrune, France, in 1939 and was buried in a pauper's grave. Cailleadh an file i Roquebrune na Fraince sa bhliain 1939 agus cuireadh é in uaigh bhochtáin. A grand ceremony was held in Ireland in 1948 when a naval ship brought his remains back to his homeland. Reáchtáladh searmanas mór in Éirinn in 1948 nuair a thug long cabhlaigh a chuid taisí ar ais go dtí a thír dhúchais. He was buried in Drumcliabh in County Sligo with great pomp and ceremony. Cuireadh é i nDroim Chliabh i gContae Shligigh le mustar is mórdháil. But Yeats' remains were so mixed with many others in the morgue that there was no way to distinguish them from other people buried there. Ach b'amhlaidh go raibh taisí Yeats measctha le go leor eile sa mharbhlann agus nach raibh aon dóigh go bhféadfaí idirdhealú a dhéanamh idir iad agus daoine eile a bhí curtha ann. The pauper's grave had a five-year lease and was exhumed in 1946 and the poet's bones were interred with those of many others. Bhí léas cúig bliana ar uaigh an bhochtáin agus dí-adhlacadh é i 1946 agus cuireadh cnámha an fhile isteach le cnámha go leor daoine eile. Therefore, it is unlikely that the collection of bones sent back to Ireland belonged to Yeats at all. Mar sin, ní dócha gur le Yeats an cnuasach cnámha a seoladh ar ais go hÉirinn in aon chor. A Department of Foreign Affairs file now available in the National Archives due to the 30 Year Rule, provides fresh insight into the controversy. Tugann comhad de chuid na Roinne Gnóthaí Eachtracha atá ar fáil anois sa Chartlann Náisiúnta de bharr na Rialach 30 Bliain, léargas úr ar an chonspóid. On June 29, 1978, the Irish Ambassador to Britain submitted a confidential report to the Department on the matter. An 29 Meitheamh, 1978 chuir Ambasadóir na hÉireann chun na Breataine tuairisc rúnda faoi bhráid na Roinne faoin scéal. A member of the Gluckstein family contacted Ambassador Paul Keating with updated information about the situation. Chuaigh ball de theaghlach Gluckstein i dteagmháil leis an ambasadóir Paul Keating le heolas úr faoin scéal. Aunt R. was Bhí aintín R. J. J. Gluckstein (Ms Gluck) was very close to Edith Heald, a close friend of Yeats. Gluckstein (Ms Gluck) an-mhór le Edith Heald, dlúthchara de chuid Yeats. Heald had documents in his possession relating to Yeats' burial and these were left in Ms Gluck's will. Bhí doiciméid i seilbh Heald a bhain le hadhlacadh Yeats agus fágadh iad sin le huacht ag Ms Gluck. Gluckstein handed copies of these letters to the Ambassador. Thug Gluckstein cóipeanna de na litreacha seo ar lámh don Ambasadóir.

Summary Matt and Rob discuss their unforgettable golf trip to Ireland, sharing insights on Epic Irish golf, jaw-dropping views, and wild weather. They dive into what sets Irish golf apart, covering iconic courses like Ballybunion, St. Patrick's, and County Sligo, along with hidden gems and rugged nine-hole treasures. Matt and Rob discuss how Ireland's communal golf culture contrasts with the exclusivity of American clubs, the challenges posed by unpredictable weather, and the unique joy of pub nights and van rides with friends. If you're considering a golf trip to Ireland, tune in for tips on navigating links courses and building camaraderie on and off the fairway. Takeaways Irish Golf Culture vs. American Golf: In Ireland, golf is more community-focused and accessible, often the heart of small towns like Ballybunion, contrasting with the exclusive, elite nature of many U.S. courses. An Epic Course Lineup: Renowned courses like Ballybunion, St. Patrick's, and County Sligo, as well as iconic links and hidden gems like Cruit Island. Ever-Changing Irish Weather: A mix of sunshine, rain, and wind—sometimes within a single round—adds an element of unpredictability that defines Irish golf. Friendships Forged on the Fairway: Beyond scores and rankings, golf trips are about friendships, with highlights like casual pub nights and van rides becoming some of the most memorable moments. Unbeatable Coastal Scenery: Irish Courses feature breathtaking coastal views and scenic walks on holes along the Atlantic Ocean. St. Patrick's Links: Newly opened and already ranked among the world's top courses, St. Patrick's Links impressed with its coastal design, forgiving fairways, and stunning landscapes. Ballybunion, A Golfer's Paradise: Ballybunion's Old Course stood out, combining challenging play with a historic, awe-inspiring layout that left a lasting impression. Navigating the Irish Links: The rugged landscapes and large dunes demanded a different play style, with accuracy over distance and adaptability to weather as key strategies. The Joy of Local Pubs and Traditions: No Irish golf trip is complete without pub visits, where players enjoy traditional Irish hospitality, food, and a true sense of camaraderie that enhances the experience.

Introduced by John Low Narrated by John Kavanagh Read by Jim Norton • Denys Hawthorne Nicholas Boulton • Marcella Riordan William Butler Yeats was born in Dublin in 1865. His father was a lawyer and a well-known portrait painter. Yeats was educated in London and in Dublin, but spent his summers in the west of Ireland in the family's summer house in County Sligo. The young Yeats was active in societies that attempted an Irish literary revival. His early poetry was influenced by John Keats, William Wordsworth, William Blake and many more. His earliest volume of verse was published in 1889. Together with Lady Gregory he founded the Irish Theatre, which was to become the Abbey Theatre, and served as its chief playwright until the movement was joined by John Sing. His plays usually treat Irish legends; they also reflect his fascination with mysticism and spiritualism. After 1910, Yeats's dramatic art took a sharp turn toward a highly poetical, static, and esoteric style. Although a convinced patriot, Yeats deplored the hatred and the bigotry of the Nationalist movement, and his poetry is full of moving protests against it. He was appointed to the Irish Senate in 1922. His poetry, especially the volumes The Wild Swans at Coole (1919), Michael Robartes and the Dancer (1921), The Tower (1928), The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1933), and Last Poems and Plays (1940), made him one of the outstanding and most influential twentieth-century poets writing in English. His recurrent themes are the contrast of art and life, masks, cyclical theories of life (the symbol of the winding stairs), and the ideal of beauty and ceremony contrasting with the hubbub of modern life.

As this podcast goes to air, the light of the moon is growing. We are moving through the final energies of the eclipse portal. We just moved through the 10/10 portal aligning with a master vibration. This is known for its powerful energy of transformation, completion, and new beginnings. Often seen as a cosmic gateway, this day is believed to be a time when the universe's energy is particularly potent, making it an ideal moment to manifest intentions, seek abundance, and embark on a path of spiritual growth… all of which reinforces the eclipse energies we have been moving through. One of the ways you can work with this vibration to help you actualize it is by working with crystals during this celestial event, you can deepen your connection to the universe, manifest your true desires, and step confidently into your purpose which is the subject on the podcast today. Are you looking for a deeper understanding of this new energy for you? Are you feeling disconnected from your purpose in life? Deep within us lies an inner strength, a wisdom that embodies our individuality and core passions. This Soul force is a vital aspect of who we are—an intrinsic part of us that demands to be expressed. Are you feeling overwhelmed by your racing thoughts and stuck in the monotony of your daily routine? Do you sense that there's a different way to navigate life, but you're not quite sure how to find it? I've been there—lost, confused, and feeling utterly alone, as if there was no escape. Sleepless nights and a lack of appetite became my norm, until one pivotal day 27 years ago when I was introduced to a teacher who worked with the transformative energy of Reiki. That experience changed my life. I was reminded of this journey recently during an interview for Woman's World Magazine, where I shared how discovering and learning Reiki helped me manage my anxiety, empowering me to make better choices for myself and, most importantly, for my children. It's significant that such a well-respected national magazine chose to highlight this topic, reflecting how important it is to bring Reiki into public conversation. We need an integrative approach to the stress and struggles of life.

Episode 115 Michael J Budd from County Sligo in Ireland. Welcome back ladies and gents. A Christmas break was well needed and we are finally back to releasing some more gold for your earlobes. This episode was recorded back in December as we began to embark on the Christmas season. Michael has been a fan of the show since day one and we have chatted back and forth since then. You might recognize his name from the line up on blacksmither radio with Victoria Patti. He was actually on there twice! Go take a listen to those great episodes when you have a chance. Michael didn't know he wanted to be a blacksmith until one day he moved to Ireland and found out that is exactly who he wants to be. After his wife pushed him towards a lesson his life was never the same. And thankfully as the man produces amazing artistic and functional pieces! It was a pleasure to sit down with Michael and hear some of his life story. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks again Mike and thanks to all the listeners. It's been 3 years now. Couldn't have done it without you all! Season 4 is amongst us and that means time for a new decal! Design underway. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/forgesidechat/message

Join Kyle and Ardon as they delve into two of the most perplexing cases we've ever heard of; The Somerton Man case and the Peter Bergmann case.  EPISODE CONTENT WARNING: MENTIONS OF SUICIDE On Dec. 1, 1948, beachgoers came across a dead man on Australia's Somerton beach. Well-dressed, and with no signs of trauma, his identity and cause of death eluded local police. Soon, investigators dubbed him the “Somerton Man.” As their investigation deepened, so did the mystery. Not only did the man's possessions offer few clues, but investigators also found a slip of paper in the man's pocket which read “Tamám Shud,” Persian for, “it is finished.” It wasn't until as recent as 2022 that the identity of the Somerton man had been identified. The circumstances of the Somerton Man's death were so confusing, that it also started a media frenzy. The Peter Bergmann case pertains to the mysterious death of an unidentified man in Sligo, County Sligo, Ireland, on or around 16 June 2009. The man, using the alias "Peter Bergmann", had checked into the Sligo City Hotel on 12 June, where he stayed during the majority of his visit to Sligo. The man's movements were captured on CCTV throughout the town; however, the details of his actions and intentions remain unknown. His interactions with other people were limited, and little is known of his origins or the reason for his visit. Hold on to your asses, because things are about to get backwards! https://linktr.ee/backasswardspod

This week's guest I chat with Colin Dodd who lives on the shores of Lough Arrow, County Sligo. He recently invited me to join him for the day. He didn't need to ask twice and as I was over in Ireland I headed up to Sligo last week to join him. He has fished Arrow all his life and so did his father before him and also the family run a boat hire business for visiting anglers. He talks of Arrow's hatches and its rich history and why so many anglers keep coming back to this special lough.

Blown up while sailing on his fishing boat along the coast of County Sligo in Ireland in 1979, the assassination of Lord Mountbatten resulted in international condemnation of the IRA, which claimed responsibility for the blast. Three other people — two teenaged boys and a woman in her eighties — were also killed. Many wondered why the IRA had chosen to kill Mountbatten, an old man who had long ago retired from public life, and who regularly summered in Ireland. It was especially strange that the Irish Republican group would choose to carry out the assassination on the same day as, and overshadowing, a bombing attack against a British Army barracks. Many years later, it was revealed that there was another aspect of Mountbatten's life, quite apart from his royal status, that might have put a target on his back. A disgraceful secret that could have made him a liability to the British.To find out more about the people and music featured in today's episode, visit the Assassinations Podcast website, www.AssassinationsPodcast.com.

On this episode we are discussing the mysterious death of "Peter Bergmann". On or around June 16, 2009, there was a mysterious death of a man in Sligo, County Sligo, Ireland. This man was using the alias "Peter Bergmann" at the Sligo City Hotel, where he stayed during the majority of his visit in Sligo. This man's movements have been captured all over the town on CCTV footage. Noone knows the reason for his visit, but we can speculate. This case resembles a few other European mystery deaths such as, The Somerton Man, The Isdal Woman and the "Jennifer Fairgate". So give us a listen and see what you think the reason was for this mystery man's visit. We also talk about a bunch of other crap you probably won't care about, but either way, you're welcome!

I chat with him about Lough Arrow in County Sligo and talks of what to expect in the next few months from this special water.

June 16, 2009 - Rosses Point Beach, County Sligo, Ireland - In this episode of "Will Continue to Monitor," hosts Ben and Tom delve into the baffling case of Peter Bergmann, the lifeless body discovered on Rosses Point Beach. The circumstances surrounding his death were unusual and mysterious. No identification or personal belongings were found with the body. The investigation into Peter Bergmann's case unveiled a series of enigmatic clues. Surveillance footage revealed his peculiar behaviors and encounters leading up to his final days. The lack of identification, fingerprints, and dental records made identifying the deceased a significant challenge. Forensic analysis and autopsy findings raised further questions about his mental state. Despite extensive investigations and the efforts of both local authorities and the online community, the truth behind Peter Bergmann's death and his true identity remain elusive.  This episode is sponsored by Eko Health.  Learn more about their digital stethoscopes at www.ekohealth.com and use code JSP for $50 off your order.   This episode is sponsored by CBD Stat.  Learn more about their high quality, THC free CBD oil.  They offer a 40% discount for healthcare workers at www.cbdstat.care/healthcare and for our listeners that aren't in healthcare you can use code JSP20 at checkout for 20% off your order.  www.cbdstat.care Will Continue To Monitor Social Media Facebook – www.facebook.com/WCTMpodcast Instagram – www.instagram.com/wctmpodcast Twitter – www.twitter.com/wctmpodcast

With Japan growing exponentially post war, through industry and art, the independent philosphy that the West perpetuated began to filter into the Jpaanese art world. Sōsaku hanga became increadingly popular where there is only one carver, printer and draughtsman. These prints touched on various themes, but especially in the abstract. Artists such as Shigeru Hatsuyama (1897-1973), and Kiyoshi Saitō (1907-1997) spring to mind, who created a new kind of mokuhanga by using various techniques, colours, and sizes  that were unique and expressive. Oliver Statler's book, written in 1956, Modern Japanese Prints : An Art Reborn, was published because the art form was growing so quickly. It is a great summary  on the sōsaku hanga movement during that time.      Nymphs (Birds and Flowers) by Shigeru Hatsuyama     House in Aizu (1972) by Kiyoshi Saitō   hangitō - a Japanese carving knife which is primarily used for mokuhanga and comes in a variety of blade sizes.  McClains has a varied assortment, here.   kentō - is the registration system used by printmakers in order to line up the colour woodblocks with your key block, or outline block, carved first.     nikawa - this definition from the Yamatane Museum of Art in Tōkyō is the perfect definition of nikawa, better than I could ever write. I've included it here, verbatim, describing how nikawa is used in nihon-ga painting,  A gelatin made by boiling and extracting protein from skins and bones of animals and fish, it has long been used as an adhesive. Since the pigments used in nihonga have no adhesive strength, the use of nikawa is needed to fix them to the surface of the painting. The two types commonly used now are shika nikawa (industrially processed from cow skin, bones, and tendons) and sanzenbon (which is made by hand, of the same materials).  gum arabic - is a sap from two types of Acacia tree. In art it is used as a binder for pigments which creates viscosity (depending on how much or little is applied to your pigments) for your watercolours and oils.

There are many different legends of this story from around Japan. You can read the Hearn story, here.  Your First Print: David Bull - this was the first DVD I ever purchased on how to make mokuhanga. This was in and around 2007. While I look back at that time thinking about why I didn't take it up as seriously as I do now, I sometime wonder, "Where would I be now in my Mokuhanga journey?" I realize that that is a redundant way of thinking. I am where I am now today, and to be happy with just that. You can still find this product on Dave's website.  © Popular Wheat Productions opening and closing musical credit - Hater Players, by Black Star from the album Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Black Star (1998).

On the 27th of August 1979, the Provisional IRA assassinated one of the best known members of Britain's royal family as he holidayed in County Sligo. But this was just one of 25 killings that took place that day. The events of that afternoon soon came to represent a watershed in the history of Anglo-Irish relations, and a landmark moment of escalation in a Northern Ireland conflict that was now settling into what some referred to as the "Long War". Naomi and Tim unpick the wider context of this notorious episode of the Troubles, and explore how it encompassed so much more than the death of a celebrity royal.

We explore Colt's early golfing days at Cambridge and his early influences, R&A membership and the formation of the Oxford & Cambridge Golf Society. We then take a look at some of Colts' designs at Rye, Sunningdale, St. Andrews, Swinley Forest, St Georges Hill, Rosapenna, Royal Dublin, Royal County Down, County Sligo, Royal Portrush and Royal Liverpool. We also consider how Colt's style evolved through time and what sort of legacy has he left to the game.

There is fascinating evidence that 5,000 years ago, people living in Britain and Ireland had a deep and meaningful relationship with the underworld seen in the carved chalk, animal bones and human skeletons found at Cranborne Chase in Dorset in a large pit, at the base of which had been sunk a 7-metre-deep shaft. Other examples considered in this Essay include Carrowkeel in County Sligo, the passage tombs in the Boyne Valley in eastern Ireland and the Priddy Circles in the Mendip Hills in Somerset. If prehistoric people regarded the earth as a powerful, animate being that needed to be placated and honoured, perhaps there are lessons here for our own attitudes to the world beneath our feet.

Today, we have 27 year old Karol Devaney of Drumcliff, a village in County Sligo, Ireland.Shearing from a young age, Karol used his skill early on in life to travel around the worlds sheep farms.  At the age of 27 Karol has travelled to New Zealand and Australia multiple times. The income from shearing paid for his college where he studied Ag Science at UCD. "It's good work, and hard works never killed anyone,"Due to the last few years being what they were, Karol is now settled at home below the foot of Benbulben, a 526 m mountain where his Mayo Blackface sheep graze some incredibly tough conditions. Mark and Karol run through their farming enterprise and what works for such harsh , unforgiving conditions. Karol began his clothing company Ewenit whilst on work placement in 2018. After the life of a farmers son and shearer, Karol found himself trying to think of things to keep him busy whilst holding down an office job. Karol also hosts a farming podcast called "The Ewenit Farming Podcast" which began, much like the Head Shepherd podcast, at the beginning of Covid lockdowns.

Subscribe to Quotomania on Simplecast or search for Quotomania on your favorite podcast app!Born in Dublin, Ireland, on June 13, 1865, William Butler Yeats was the son of a well-known Irish painter, John Butler Yeats. He spent his childhood in County Sligo, where his parents were raised, and in London. He returned to Dublin at the age of fifteen to continue his education and study painting, but quickly discovered he preferred poetry. Born into the Anglo-Irish landowning class, Yeats became involved with the Celtic Revival, a movement against the cultural influences of English rule in Ireland during the Victorian period, which sought to promote the spirit of Ireland's native heritage. Though Yeats never learned Irish Gaelic himself, his writing at the turn of the century drew extensively from sources in Irish mythology and folklore. Also a potent influence on his poetry was the Irish revolutionary Maud Gonne, whom he met in 1889, a woman equally famous for her passionate nationalist politics and her beauty. Though she married another man in 1903 and grew apart from Yeats (and Yeats himself was eventually married to another woman, Georgie Hyde Lees), she remained a powerful figure in his poetry.Yeats was deeply involved in politics in Ireland, and in the twenties, despite Irish independence from England, his verse reflected a pessimism about the political situation in his country and the rest of Europe, paralleling the increasing conservativism of his American counterparts in London, T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. His work after 1910 was strongly influenced by Pound, becoming more modern in its concision and imagery, but Yeats never abandoned his strict adherence to traditional verse forms. He had a life-long interest in mysticism and the occult, which was off-putting to some readers, but he remained uninhibited in advancing his idiosyncratic philosophy, and his poetry continued to grow stronger as he grew older. Appointed a senator of the Irish Free State in 1922, he is remembered as an important cultural leader, as a major playwright (he was one of the founders of the famous Abbey Theatre in Dublin), and as one of the very greatest poets—in any language—of the century. W. B. Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1923 and died in 1939 at the age of seventy-three.From https://poets.org/poet/w-b-yeats. For more information about W. B.

Episode 1 of a new series of oral histories, led by Donal Maguire, curator of the Gallery's ESB CSIA, documenting some of the experiences and thoughts of artists living and working through the COVID-19 emergency. In this first conversation, Nick Miller discusses his work, including 'From Pat Cogan's Shed' , and talks about aspects of his life during the COVID-19 emergency. This conversation was recorded on 8 May 2020. Born in London, Nick Miller moved to Ireland in 1984 and now lives and works in Sligo. He is a painter who works in the genres of portraiture, still life and landscape. Focusing primarily on local subjects, including the rural landscape of north-west Ireland, he has developed a vigorous painting technique that merges representation and expressionism. He was the winner of the National Gallery of Ireland's inaugural portrait prize in 2014. About Artists' Voices: Life in a Pandemic: Oral histories are a unique record of an individual's personal thoughts and experiences. They are a valuable source of knowledge for researchers, providing insight and connection to a person's life and character. The ESB Centre for the Study of Irish Art, at the National Gallery of Ireland, builds, cares for and makes available the national record of art in Ireland for public study and interpretation. Oral histories are a type of archival record and form an interesting part of the ESB CSIA's collection. In recognizing the significant impact of COVID-19, the ESB CSIA is carrying out a series of short conversations with artists to document some of their experiences and thoughts of living and working through the pandemic. These conversations, led by Donal Maguire, Curator of the ESB CSIA, were recorded using technology that is conveniently available to the artist. The use of commonplace technologies for this project reflects the more general and increasing significance of these platforms for everyday communication. The ESB CSIA acknowledges the generosity of the artists for agreeing to talk about their life and work during this uncertain time. This oral history project has been generously supported by ESB, sponsor of the ESB Centre for the Study of Irish Art
