Note: This interview was broadcast on KUT-FM, an NPR station based in Austin, Texas. In 1861 in Clonmany, on the Inishowen peninsula in the far north of County Donegal Ireland, Charles McGlinchy was born.  His was a windblown, rough world, wracked with beauty and hardship. A weaver by trade, and a bachelor, in his old age he realized he was the last of the McGlinchys, the last of his name. Night after night, he told his tale to an old neighbor, the schoolmaster Patrick Kavanagh, who wrote it all down. Patrick's son Desmond found these copybooks after his father's death, and offered them to Brian Friel, the renowned Irish playwright, who then edited the manuscript into a book called The Last of the Name. This same book is what Desmond Kenny, of Kenny's Bookshop in Galway, chose to discuss in our interview. When asked to pick a piece of writing that's had a tremendous impact on him, he wandered the rich shelves of the shop, musing over all the books he's known and loved, until he lighted upon this one, and knew it was the right choice. We spoke after hours in the family run book shop, which recently celebrated its 70th anniversary. Click here: to listen to this ThoughtCast interview (18 minutes).

We know it as ‘On Raglan Road', but the journey of the song that began life as a poem tells us a lot about Bohemian Dublin in an earlier time. In the Bailey tent at the Luke Kelly Festival, playwright Jimmy Murphy takes us through the story of the Kavanagh masterpiece Luke Kelly made his own. We also get a great rendition from Fergus Whelan (with a little help from Patrick Kavanagh in the recording!).

On this week's episode of Point of View with me Anne O Neill, I talk to Daragh O Malley the  Irish actor, director, and producer. O'Malley is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Patrick Harper in the series Sharpe (1993–2009) starring with Sean Bean although O'Malley has appeared in a number of other films, major television shows, and stage productions throughout his career in the UK and in the US.My own favourite being his appearance in the cult classic Withnail and I starring Richard E Grant  and Paul McGann, where Daragh plays the Irishman in the pub who utters "Perfumed Ponce" and intimidates Withnail and Marwood ,a moment now immortalised in gifs and on youtube , Daragh is a man of many stories , he is the son of Donagh O Malley. the Irish T.D who brought in free education, a game changer for this nation and his mother was the dark haired beauty from Dingle who inspired Patrick Kavanagh to write Raglan Road among other poems, in Part one of this chat we talk about his parents and their influence on Irish life and culture

St. Patrick's Day has always been special to us, so it was particularly sweet six years ago tonight when the opening show for the 2018 season of “Route 60 Saturday Night” — the monthly musical variety bash for which The Flood was the house band — fell on March 17.To put a Celtic curl on the night, we dusted off some favorite songs from The Old Sod. As you'll see in the above video, we opened the show at the good ol' Route 60 Music Co. with one of the greatest sing-along in the Irish catalog — “The Wild Rover” — which we learned years ago from our heroes, The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. Then 90 minutes later, we wrapped up the evening with one of the prettiest Irish tunes of all times. “Down By the Salley Gardens,” with lyrics by William Butler Yeats, has been in The Flood repertoire for 25 or 30 years; in fact, it was on our first album in 2001. But as you hear in the second half of the video, the tune had a beautiful rebirth with the harmonies that Michelle Hoge brought to it.The Indefatigable Mr. DobbsThat fun night brought back memories of another special St. Pat's. Seven years earlier, The Flood was chosen to launch the city's first “Party on the Patio” of 2011 at Heritage Station's gazebo downtown.In those day, fiddler Joe Dobbs was front and center any time the band was stoking its Irish fires. In the following video from the March 17, 2011, show, Joe tears it up with his "Miss McLeod's Reel" for the dancers on the patio below the bandstand:Ah, those McLeods and their reel! That tune also was a Flood favorite any time the extraordinary flutist Wendell Dobbs dropped in to jam with us. Here, from a winter 2009 session, Wendell and Joe made the then-new weekly Flood podcast with their duet:EncoreAnyway, the gazebo event went well. The city invited the band back the next year for a St. Pat encore, kicking off the 2012 "Party on the Patio” (or “Paddy on the Partio,” as Charlie dubbed it in a later email to his cousin Kathy).“The gig was super!” he wrote. “We had a good gathering, the weather cooperated, the band sounded great and everyone seemed to have fun.”The Mike Smith Connection Meanwhile, at the Flood jam sessions in those days, Joe also often shared Irish tunes with Flood buddy Mike Smith, a regular at those weekly parties. In this moment from a summer evening in 2011, Pamela Bowen's video captures Joe and Mike's lovely twin fiddling:About that tune, poet Patrick Kavanagh wrote the "On Raglan Road" in 1946 and it quickly became a beloved verse in his native Ireland. It didn't become internationally known, though, until years later when Kavanagh met The Dubliners' Luke Kelly, who set the poem to a traditional melody, "The Dawning of the Day." Joe's Favorite Irish Fiddle TuneHands down, Joe Dobbs' favorite Irish fiddle tune was one he often played with Mike, as we reported in this June 2009 podcast:“Whiskey Before Breakfast” already had been with us a long time. It was a half century ago, in fact, that Joe taught that tune to his Flood family. And we actually have the tape! Picture it. It was near St. Patrick's Day 1977, and Joe and Flood co-founder Roger Samples had been wood-shedding together throughout the long, cold winter of 1976-77.In spring, the two emerged from those winter nights with a whole slew of new duets; at the March 1977 Bowen Bash, they put them on display for us. Take a listen:In the decades to come, Joe would always have that happy tune ready whenever someone wanted to dance with us, as you can see here:“Star of the County Down”Oh, and at a different Bowen Bash, Joe taught us another Celtic classic. This time it was his unique rendering of a beautiful Irish aire. Here's that moment from an Autumn 1981 gathering:Happy St. Patrick's Day!So, enjoy St. Patrick's Day 2024. Erin Go Bragh, y'all! And, hey, if your ears are still hungry for more Irish tunes, check out the virtual St. Patrick's Day show on the band's Radio Floodango free music streaming feature.

El coste del talento   No tengo la fina audacia de los hombres que dominan la pluma. Los complejos de muchos esclavos están en mis versos. Cuando enderezo los hombros para mirar el mundo con audacia, veo el talento fríamente condenándome al desgaste rebajado. La mía era la misión de un mendigo con sueños de belleza. Debería haber nacido ciego. Debería haberme contentado con caminar detrás mirando el reflejo del deleite de Dios: un narrador de la historia de segunda mano, una gloria de segunda mano. No estaba bien que mi mente se hiciera eco de las connotaciones de la vida, que hubiera visto una flor con pétalos con gran poder. (De Los poemas completos de Patrick Kavanagh, 1984, Goldsmith Press)

Listeners celebrate Aertel which is being shut down on October 12th. The Ireland Women's darts Team won the World Darts Federation World Cup in Denmark. Aoife descrbes different folklore around wakes in Ireland. On Raglan Road, written by Patrick Kavanagh, was first published in the Irish Press on the 3rd of October 1946.

The Road To Cork. In 1986 I gave a talk at a Sinn Féin conference which became known by activists of my vintage as The Road to Cork or The Bus to Cork. More of that at another time. Suffice for now to say that I made  the journey to Cork  a metaphor for the journey to the new republic. I am minded of that now as our car speeds south and I sit in the back penning these words. The road to Cork is indeed a very long road. So too the road to the new republic. But barring accidents we will get there.  The Power Of X.Before X there was Twitter. Apart from the ill mannered, ill informed and abusive, nasty and vulgar tirades that are the mark of some contributors I like these forms of communication. I joined Twitter in January 2011 on the direction of Shaun Tracy who was then one of our leading shadowy figures in Leinster House. He continues to lead but in other shadowy sites of struggle. It is Shaun who is to blame for my twitterings over the years. He made the mistake of letting me put up whatever came into my head. Once  I even published My Little Book Of Tweets. In part of course I was having the craic. But I was also countering the demonizing propaganda of the establishment media, particularly the Dublin media. But that's another story.Seamus Heaney.August 30 marks the 10th anniversary of the death of Seamus Heaney. I knew of Seamus before I knew him. He was a teacher in Saint Thomas' School on the Whiterock Road along with another fine scribe Michael McLaverty. Some of my brothers were pupils there. I know Seamus's poetry since Death of A Naturalist. His poems, and Patrick Kavanagh's verses, have always moved me. My thoughts are with Seamus's wife and family and with his friends at this anniversary time. A life of changeBernadette O'Hagan from Lurgan died last week. She was a strong republican woman. An activist. She was 95. For 52 years she was married to Joe B who was himself a  hugely respected activist. Joe B is especially remembered for his part in the helicopter escape from Mountjoy prison in October 1973. 

Songs are sometimes much more than a mere confection of words and music. Take the enduringly popular Irish ballad “Raglan Road”, whose ingredients are a dark-haired beauty, a lovelorn poet, a sublime ancient melody and one of Ireland's finest folk singers.In 1944 Patrick Kavanagh, who was to become one of Ireland's most popular poets, fell hopelessly in love at the age of 40 with a beautiful medical student named Hilda Moriarty, then only 22. They both had lodgings on Raglan Road, Dublin, and a relatively short relationship ensued that ended because of the age difference and her parents' disapproval of a middle-aged man who was barely scraping a living from poetry and journalism. Moriarty later married an aspiring politician, Donogh O'Malley, a dashing figure who as education minister in 1966 introduced the crucial reform of free secondary education and rural school buses in the Irish Republic.Heartbroken at losing her, Kavanagh composed one of the great poems of unrequited love, “On Raglan Road”, which was first published in The Irish Press newspaper in 1946. The opening lines reveal his fear that the affair was doomed from day one: “On Raglan Road on an autumn day I met her first and knew/ That her dark hair would weave a snare that I might one day rue . . . ”Kavanagh always regarded his poem as a song lyric, however, and matched it to the traditional Irish air “Fáinne Geal an Lae”, which was first published in 1847 and translated into English as “The Dawning of the Day”, a phrase he uses in the poem.Another 20 years passed before his hope of it becoming a successful song was fulfilled. One night in 1966 Kavanagh buttonholed Luke Kelly, singer with The Dubliners folk group, in the city's The Bailey bar. Both men were renowned drinkers, and as Kelly supped on Guinness and a shot of whiskey in the smoky bar after a singing session, Kavanagh announced: “I've got a song for you! You should sing ‘Raglan Road'.”Unlike the match with Moriarty, this one was made in heaven. Kelly, a striking figure with a shock of curly red hair and a commanding tenor voice, loved the song and his compelling renditions of it are regarded by many as unsurpassed.Thanks to his and The Dubliners'performances “Raglan Road” became popular in Ireland, even though the group did not record it until their 1972 live album, Hometown!. Kavanagh, sadly, never saw his song become a hit — he died a year after presenting it to Kelly.The song gained a second surge of life in 1988, this time bringing international recognition, when Van Morrisonrecorded it with The Chieftains for the album Irish Heartbeat. While The Dubliners' delivery is stately, with Kelly's voice dominant over simple banjo, guitar, tin whistle and violin, Morrison's dramatic arrangement interprets the poem's emotions with another vocal tour de force.As The Chieftains' accompaniment grows to a swirling support with Paddy Moloney's uilleann pipes to the fore, Morrison's voice soars, repeats words and even reduces to a whisper for the lines: “On a quiet street where old ghosts meet,/ I see her walking now, Away from me,/ So hurriedly. My reason must allow . . . ”Since then many folk artists have recorded it, as well as rock stars Sinéad O'Connor, Roger Daltreyand Mark Knopfler, but none quite matches the passionate pomp that Kelly and Morrison bring and which the song demands. The likes of Ed Sheeran, Billy Braggand Billy Joel have also sung it in concert.And in 2008 Kelly's rendition was heard again in the film &

A Celebration of Patrick Kavanagh: Part One by Senior Times

In this Film Ireland podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Alan Gilsenan, Director of Ghosts of Baggotonia. Ghosts of Baggotonia is a haunting and visually captivating film-poem exploring the literary and other ghosts of the bohemian quarter bordering Dublin's Baggot Street during the mid-20th century. “Baggotonia” as it has become known – was both a permeable geographic area and a cultural movement, populated by writers, artists and other intellectuals living an anarchic life at odds with the over-arching drabness and the conservative mores of the time. Inspired by a rare collection of photographs from artist Nevill Johnson, the film is shot in starkly beautiful Leica monotone and draws upon writings from the period, including Patrick Kavanagh, Elizabeth Bowen, Samuel Beckett, Blanaid Salkeld, John Montague, Eavan Boland, Paul Durcan, Ethna McCarthy, Thomas Kinsella amongst many others. This stunning film is also an act of psycho-geography as well as a personal meditation on Alan Gilsenan's childhood, where he grew up amidst the ghosts on the mythical Raglan Road. His own poetic script frames the film – voiced by Gilsenan himself and Camille O'Sullivan – and features a remarkable original soundtrack from composer Brian Crosby (formerly of Juniper, The Cake Sale & Bell XI). Ghosts of Baggotonia is in cinemas from 9th December 2022.

Del fracaso hacia arriba ¿Puede un hombre crecer del terrón muerto del fracaso; alguna flor consoladora; ¿Algo para usar como un ojal en el cielo? Bajo el dolor plano, plano de la derrota, tal vez la esperanza sea una semilla. Tal vez esto es para lo que nació, esta hora de desesperanza Tal vez es aquí donde debe buscar En este infierno de infidelidad, Donde nadie tiene un propósito, Donde la red de significado son hilos rotos, Y un hombre mira a otro con miedo. Oh Dios, ¿puede un hombre encontrarte cuando yace boca abajo? ¿Y su nariz en los escombros ese fue su logro? ¿Está sonando la música detrás de la puerta de la desesperación? Oh Dios, danos un propósito. (De Los poemas completos de Patrick Kavanagh, 1984, Goldsmith Press).

CressloughI know Creeslough well. I have friends who live there. Outside the village. At both ends. My heart goes out to the families of the ten people who were killed last Friday.Same old StoryLast Saturday's DUP party conference saw it behave as unionist parties have usually behaved. Within their own little bubble.   It's the same old story. The DUP was established 50 years ago to oppose civil rights. It was openly sectarian. It pledged to Smash Sinn Féin – and failed - founded its own paramilitary organisations and set its face against power sharing. It successfully outmanoeuvred its unionist electoral rivals and emerged triumphant as the largest party in the Assembly.Patrick KavanaghI am a long time fan of Patrick Kavanagh. And a long time supporter of Claddagh Records. Poet and writer Patrick Kavanagh was born in rural north Monaghan in 1904.  He left school at the age of 12 and taught himself about literature. He went on to become one of our leading poets.

Order your copy of ‘Poems for when you can't find the words' here In this episode, I speak to Mary Shine Thompson about the power of poetry at end-of-life and during times of grief. We also talk about her personal experiences of loss; how the death of her brother as young adults reshaped her life, and how the death of her mother at age 93, brought with it a profound grief. It's another beautiful conversation that looks at yet more Shapes of Grief. Poems for When You Can't Find the Words is a comforting collection of poetry from the Irish Hospice Foundation surrounding loss and end of life. The book brings together classic poets, beloved Irish figures, medieval translations and new commissions, which together form a diverse anthology designed to bring solace and refuge to those in need. Created in partnership with Poetry Ireland, Poems for When You Can't Find the Words offers intimate verse of honesty, candour and solidarity to patients, carers and the bereaved alike. Readers will find comfort in the penned reflections of death, grief, loss and love that span the barriers of time, geography and language. ‘Sometimes, the right words in the right order remain tantalisingly beyond our reach: when, for example, emotions are raw, or formless, or just overwhelming,' said Mary Shine Thompson, who edited and introduced the collection. ‘[Poetry] speaks to the fears and concerns that illness and approaching death awaken. Poetry can keep us going.' An essential collection for those leaving or left, Poems for When You Can't Find the Words includes comforting works by Patrick Kavanagh, Louise Glück, Seamus Heaney, Emily Dickinson, Michael D. Higgins, Paula Meehan and more. Irish Hospice Foundation is a national charity that addresses dying, death and bereavement in Ireland. Their vision is an Ireland where people facing end of life or bereavement, and those who care for them, are provided with the care and support that they need.

Memory of My Father -Patrick KavanaghEvery old man I seeReminds me of my fatherWhen he had fallen in love with deathOne time when sheaves were gathered.That man I saw in Gardiner StreetStumble on the kerb was one,He stared at me half-eyed,I might have been his son. And I remember the musicianFaltering over his fiddleIn Bayswater, London.He too set me the riddle. Every old man I seeIn October-coloured weatherSeems to say to me"I was once your father."Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thewanderingpaddy. Hosted on Acast.

The full title of this poems is: 'Lines written on a seat on the Grand Canal , Dublin, 'Erected to the memory of Mrs Dermot O'Brien' It belongs to a cluster he wrote later in life, and his friends took him at his word, clubbed together and made him a memorial which you can see in the picture. One cold December day in Dublin, before google maps, I set out to walk to the canal to find the statue. I found it, and Raglan Road which is near by, but that bench seat is metal. You have to be dedicated to sit there long enough to have your photo taken when the temperature is hovering round zero. . You can also hear a reading of 'Kerr's Ass', one of his best poems, on the poetry voice podcast.

Pádraig Ó Tuama's interests lie in language, violence, and religion. Having grown up in a place that has a long history of all three (Ireland, yes, but also Europe) he finds that language might be the most redeeming of all three of these. In language, there is the possibility of vulnerability, of surprise, of the creative movement towards something as yet unseen. He is inspired by any artist of words: from Krista Tippett to Lucille Clifton; from Patrick Kavanagh to Emily Dickinson; from Lorna Goodison to Arundhati Roy. Ó Tuama loves words — words that open up the mind, the heart, the life. For instance — poem: a created thing.

Ireland might always be associated with the land. That's certainly the way it was for much of the 20th Century and while certain Irish poets sought to romanticise this connection between the land and it's people Patrick Kavanagh chose to do the exact opposite. Kavanagh was a poet who chose instead to look at every aspect of Irish society seeming to revel in the less polished side.In this poem Epic he looks at the narrow world view of those restricted by rural communities and settings. In doing so he exposes the short sightedness of the Irish perspective on land and wealth. At the same time it is a poem of reflection that hopes to find some empathy for those self same people.You can find a copy of the poem here: https://www.poetrybyheart.org.uk/poems/epic/The show notes for today's episode, with full references can be found here: https://wordsthatburnpodcast.com/You can get in touch with me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wordsthatburnpodcast/The music in this weeks episode is By The Winds by Sergey Cheremisinov and is used under creative commons license.

Welcome to another episode of The Prayer Path, The Narrower Path. This week on The Narrower Path I give voice to a beautiful Poem by the Irish Poet Patrick Kavanagh called 'From Failure Up'. In the poem Kavanagh, who refers to The Divine as God, asks whether it's not in the depths of our deepest despair and shattered parts of our lives that we find the greatest growth, healing, hope and meaning and indeed, the greatest sense of The Presence of The Divine at work in our lives.
