Erin's Isle Podcast

When you think of ageless arts you probably think music, sculpture and theater. In Ireland, I think stone masonry, bell ringers and falconry. So that's what this is about. Learn about the art of the bell ringers at Christ Church Cathedral and the inside story on the competitive nature of the Steeple Keepers. And how you can ring the bells yourself.  Hear the story of the Claddagh Ring, how it came to be and why it's such an iconic souvenir in Galway. And fly the birds of prey. You can do that at a lot of the castles in Ireland. I'll take you to Dromoland Castle where a hawk named Bomber is anxious to meet you.  All that and A Broad Abroad in Episode 13!
