A Bird in the House, God Bless Her

October 9 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm


A Bird in the House, God Bless Her was recorded by Michael Fortune of folklore.ie, with the Southside Travellers Action Group (STAG).

Telling of rare customs in Ireland, it includes stories of fairies, the banshee, and shape-shifting hares. It won the 2024 Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) Community Archive Scheme and marks the first collection that focuses on the culture and experiences of the Traveller Community.

Join us for a discussion on the collection, with an introduction by Nell McDonagh, Family Liaison and Heritage Officer with Meath Travellers’ Workshop, and music by acclaimed singer and storyteller Thomas McCarthy.

Note: Limited spaces, booking essential.
