Ceol spreagas an croí - scattering the light of Irish traditional music

[Pads Ceili House @Pads_Ceili]

Fáilte romhat isteach

For a piece of music or a song a day from the Irish tradition

Ceol a spreagas an croí (heart stirring music) to beat the Covid blues

It was a thread but it became too unwieldy

Please support the artists directly if you can Covid has been hard for so many

@GregHands @Conservatives Watch without sound

You look like you're reading a statement on some catastrophic event where thousands have died

Positively funereal

One of the many lovely passages from Borstal Boy that led teenage me as a Leeds born son of Dubliners to seek ou poetry in irish, a language I didn't have. God bless Leeds Central Library who had a copy of An Duanaire by Seán Ó'Tuama

I looked at it for hours

'I was asked one time had success spoiled me and I said, no I was always like this. It changed my way of life – I suppose I go to better beds but sleep less well.'

@l_oc81 Body image issues?

Dad's ridiculous approach to food and nutrition already damaged her self esteem?

Or maybe it's just a comfort thing?

Good point though
