Jim Enright is this year's Munster Scór Long Service Award recipient at the All-Ireland Senior Scór Finals taking place in Castlebar this Saturday, April 26th. Jim first took part in Scór on Bloody Sunday, January 1972. The event was postponed due to the outrage. Jim has taken part every year since then with little success until Flann O'Reilly from West Clare and Michael Thorne from South Tipperary came on board. They have won numerous Trath na gCeist County titles, four Munster titles and one All Ireland title in that period. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by livestock farmer from Cratloe, Jim Enright. Photo. (c) Jim Enright being congratulated by the Munster GAA Chairman Tim Murphy

Today is World MS Day. This day of celebration brings the global MS community together to share stories, raise awareness and campaign for everyone affected by MS. There are over 9,000 people in Ireland living with multiple sclerosis. Deirdre Drowney is the regional community worker for South Tipperary & she spoke to Fran on Tipp Today along with Alison O'Regan from Clonmel, she was diagnosed when her daughter Abigail was born 21 years ago.

Over the weekend there were walks held across Tipperary to raise awareness about Mental Health and Suicide awareness. In Cahir the newly formed Youth Club Teen Cave decide to set up their own – called the Dawn Walk- and start the conversation and take action to address the mental health issues they themselves have experienced and that they have seen developing in their peers around them. Something that was clear – is that people feel community and amenities are important for all age groups to maintain mental wellness and that is lacking here in South Tipperary. Sheila Naughton went along to see who else was out and about before the birds :

The South Tipperary Hospice Movement is a service that is much respected and needed here in the county and many groups and communities fundraise regularly for the service. The group provides palliative care, and support for people in South Tipperary and West Waterford with an advanced incurable disease and indeed their families at the most vulnerable time of their lives. Well 32 years on from their foundation the promise that the HSE would cover their core funding has been realised… Ann Guida spokesperson for the group has been telling Sheila Naughton about what this means for the future of the service ...

Austin McQuinn ‘Some signs are secret, some manifest' 31st March – 13th May 2023A Solo Exhibition of new paintings, sculpture, and live art performance, curated by Helena Tobin.‘Some signs are secret, some manifest' is an exhibition of new work specifically created for the double-height atrium and gallery @STAC. Austin's new paintings on ash wood panels and found antique prints are intensely gesso-ed, collaged and inked to psychedelic effect. The 17 foot ‘Tower' of discarded Aran sweaters in the Atrium signals the unique Norman architecture of tower houses in South Tipperary, and echoes an earlier installation McQuinn created in Kilmainham Gaol, presenting sweaters as totems to make a new tribal or fetish power-object for the Gallery.https://www.southtippartscentre.ie/events/austin-mcquinn-some-signs-are-secret-some-manifestIn a challenging exploration of the traditional and the discarded, of biopower and queer energy, McQuinn will be artist-in-residence at the STAC Chapel in the former Kickham Army Barracks. He will create a twenty-four hour live-streamed live-art performance event, titled ‘Imperial Lunatic'. Following the cycle of the new moon rising, ‘Imperial Lunatic' will incorporate the artists' body in series of repeating actions, video clips of volcanoes and processions, percussion, medals, zigzags, tongues and talc.https://www.southtippartscentre.ie/events/austin-mcquinn-imperial-lunaticGet in touch with the podcast: southtippartspodcast@gmail.com Don't forget to like & subscribe ;)

This month for Tipperary's Hidden History, Conor invites you to a wedding in South Tipperary. Ireland's long tradition of partying, drinking and fighting all collided at the end of a wedding at Ballydrehid in 1897 when the happy day tragically resulted in the funeral of one of the guests.

The Year of '21, is currently being rehearsed in Mullinahone and is due to be performed in Kilkenny's Watergate and The Source in Thurles next month. Local writer, Brian Clancy's is behind the play, which explores the themes of religious and sexual identity, patriarchy and place in an era of great turmoil in Irish history. This roman a clef is based on a number of violent incidents and the associated executions of three Anglo- Irish men during the War of Independence in the Cloneen, Drangan and Mullinahone areas of South Tipperary.

Shul, (a Tibetan word for ‘track', meaning "a mark that remains after that which made it has passed by”) sees artists Martina O'Brien and Christine Mackey respond specifically to Co. Tipperary, to sites/areas where humans have left our mark on, or in, the landscape.SHUL opens Friday 3rd September. The gallery is open 10-5pm Monday to SaturdayIn this episode, Martina O'Brien & Christine Mackey chat about their work for this residency and exhibition and the wealth of material, experience and inspiration gained throughout their Arts Council funded residency here at STAC. More Info:South Tipperary Arts Centre is delighted to present our much anticipated 2021 residency project, supported by Arts Council of Ireland. Shul, (aTibetan word for ‘track', meaning "a mark that remains after that which made it has passed by”) sees artists Martina O'Brien and Christine Mackey respond specifically to Co. Tipperary, to sites/areas where humans have left our mark on, or in, the landscape. Martina O'Brien's new body of work looks to explore the geological legacy of the county. Deemed to be Ireland's most illustrious and prolific mineral locality, the artworks consider the site - specific chronologies of deep-time kept by its stone along with its complex histories of extractivism. Mining took place intermittently at Silvermines for over 1000 years, from the 9th century until 1993 and evidence of this chequered past is still visible in the district including its 19th century engine houses and their close proximity to the remains of modern processing plants, waste heaps and open pits. Realised through film and installation, the artworks also look to examine the ubiquitous presence of rocks in Romantic poetry, and how these sublime descriptions of the earth's material and early environmental discourse presented the earth in its otherness and its nonhuman aspect.Collect, save, and distribute are key activities that stem from Christine Mackey's on-going interest in exploring biological matter. To open this wide and ongoing discussion around the vulnerability of local habitats and their flora and fauna, Mackey devised on-line the distribution of pollinator friendly seed mix ‘Pollinating Pastures'. This has led her journeying in the footsteps of ecologists – retracing hand-drawn routes, site descriptions and recorded sightings of specific plants that were mapped in Tipperary in 1991 for An Foras Forbartha. This alternative way of visiting multiple sites and locations led by the direction of this material whilst mapping the unfolding of a land and its inhabitants has led to a new body of research material for exhibition encompassing drawings, photographs and sound recordings with objects. Martina O'Brien is a Visual Artist and UCD Parity Studio's Irish Centre for Research in Applied Geosciences Artist in Residence (2020/21). Her practice explores links between people, nature and technology, bound by an interest in the earth sciences and practices of divination. Recent solo exhibitions include Quotidian, Illuminations, NUI Maynooth (2019/20) and At Some Distance in the Direction Indicated, Butler Gallery (2018). Recent group shows include New Era, Solstice Arts Centre (2020); Datami Resonance Festival, Ispra, Italy and BOZAR, Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels, (2019/20); and Tactical Magic, TULCA (2019). Recent awards include Arts Council Visual Arts Bursary awards (2021/19). Christine Mackey develops long-term projects that attend to the complexity of plant matter and local habitats, which embody notions of care and cultivation through a range of scio-environmental contexts, collaborations and mediums. In 2018, She was awarded a Fulbright scholarship pursuing independent research across educational institutions and residency programmes. On-going projects include ‘The Potting Shed' (2013 -) ArtLink, Donegal, which opened up a new social space inside a defunct military environment; addressing pressing environmental issues in relation to the geopolitical control of seeds was made evident in ‘Seed Matter' (2010-) devised as a series of exhibitions and a publication, and ‘The Long Hedge' (2018-) site-specific seed collection with future works currently in development funded by the Arts Council bursary award.

We are delighted that we have secured some creative ireland funding for this project and we thank them for their support. This first episode focuses on our reopening exhibition, Protectorate by Photographer Denis Mortell. Using the phenomenon of Brexit as a starting point, the exhibition considers themes such as Britishness, cultural difference, and social and political history.

The viewer is asked to consider what is really being protected and why. How much is real, how much is myth?In this episode i caught up with Denis during the installation of protectorate, and also managed to have a chat with curator and art historian Catherine MarshallAs it has not been possible to have a public opening, we have released a short film on our youtube channel featuring some of Denis work and hearing the man himself explain his motivations and creative process.

This episode is a return of the Great Famine Series. Focusing on the town of Clogheen in South Tipperary, this two part episode follows the lives of three individuals Robert Davis, David Keane and Richard Burke. Their stories delve into the fascinating yet often violent struggle for survival in Ireland during the Great Famine. While the show focuses on Clogheen the accounts are reflective of wider experiences.The podcasts also examines controversial topics such as the export of food and the violent resistence to those exports. I also reveal stories of those who profited during the famine and try to answer why many Irish people who seemed like decent people continued to export food in the midst of the famine. The show includes dozens of primary sources including two previously unpublished letters written from Clogheen and Boston giving a first hand perspective of what life for Irish people was like in the 1840s. I would like to thank Ted Reilly and Martin Nutty for their help in New York without whom this episode would not have been possible. Credits:Aidan Crowe read David Keane's Letters Maurcie Casery narrated Robert Davis's report Mark O'Dwyer voiced the words of James Fraser and Ferguson the pawnbrokerFurther Reading: O'Riordain, E.

Whether she is seen as a benevolent earth-shaping giantess, harsh winter hag goddess, shape-shifting crone, guardian of sacred wells and animals, or ancient bestower of sovereignty; the Cailleach appears in many roles and manifestations in myths and legends across the British Isles. Tracking the Cailleach across thousands of years through folklore, literature and place names, the authors have uncovered startling references which hint at a hidden priestess cult worshipping the Cailleach from ancient times through into the twentieth century. By exploring her myths and legends, they demonstrate the hugely significant role of the Cailleach in the early history of the British Isles. Beinn na Caillich and Goir a' Bhlair - the seat of the Cailleach Looking beyond the veil of the sacred landscape, the vision of the Cailleach confronts the seeker, in hills and rocks, lakes and wells, burial chambers and stormy skies. Now finally the primal elemental power of the Cailleach is revealed in her full glory, in the tales and places of Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man; as well as in traces of her presence in England, Wales, Jersey, Brittany, Spain and Norway. For more details about the book visit the Avalonia site or you can buy the book on Amazon.   The Pattern by Willson & McKee The Pattern is a poem that Kim wrote after her first trip to Ireland and hearing about the myths and legends of the Women knitting a pattern in her husband and sons sweaters to identify them if they were lost at sea and then recovered later.

The album, pictured left, is called Tales from the Crowman adn the track we have been allowed to bring you is the Twa Corbies - that classic folk-song that Damh adds his own unique style to. These songs (apart from the Green Fields of France and Wild Mountain Thyme) are modern interpretations of classic folk songs. The source of these songs lay with the great folk song collectors such as Cecil Sharp, Francis James Child, and the Copper family. These are songs that were transmitted through word of mouth, songs of the lower classes, music with no known composer. You can find out more about Damh, his wonderful albums and his Druidry on his website or on his Contributor Page.   Get EXTRA content in the Celtic Myth Podshow App for iOS, Android & Windows Contact Us: You can leave us a message by using the Speakpipe Email us at: garyandruth@celticmythpodshow.com.
