- The First of the Month' is a new online series brought to you by Michael Fortune and Robbie Sinnott which explores the Ancient and Contemporary Folklore of Ireland.
This new collaboration stems from a relationship which Wexford natives Michael and Robbie have developed over recent years where they will exchange accounts and stories from around the country and share their own personal observations on the living folklore and language within Ireland today. Their true connection with the subject matter and their respect for the people who impart their stories, knowledge and experiences has urged them to produce this monthly series.
You can view the first broadcast live at 8pm on the first of every month from Michael’s Facebook page

Each programme will include individual and personal accounts on video from various contemporary sources from around Ireland and also feature traditional songs relating to the various themes discussed. This self-produced initiative is operated on a zero-budget and fuelled by goodwill. It aims to expand the conversation around folklore, give a voice to people and their stories and ultimately reach audiences other than those involved in academic research.

A great wealth of folklore there. Love it.
These talks are fantastic, the conversations with you and Robbie with the recordings of the other folks who remember old ways are the best things I’ve come across for getting a better sense of all these old traditions, local knowledge and festivals. I would really love to hear more of these please!! Thanks for doing this great work to weave together these strands of old culture.

Talking to bees is another old Celtic custom (known in other parts of Europe as well), that like the songs made it's way to the Appalachians. It's said you always tell the bees when someone is born, dies, comes or goes --- because if you don't keep them informed, they'll fly away.
My family crest has pelicans
The motto
God will provide
I feed a large murder of crows
They bring their young to me every spring for peanuts and popcorn
