Lord Leitrim, John Twiss and the songs of our year (with Michael Steen)
26 October 2025 - 30 minsLord Leitrim, John Twiss and the songs of our year (with Michael Steen)
This edition of the podcast is dedicated to the memory of Manchán Magan.
Singer Michael Steen (a member of the An Góilín Traditional Singers Club) has developed an intriguing calendar of the year, which creates a journey of song through the seasons. Some of these songs are tied to folklore traditions, others mark key anniversaries. In this discussion, we touch on all from the story of a detested landlord buried in St Michan's Church to the recently pardoned John Twiss. The calendar is available to view at www.songcalendar.ie.
