The Kidnapping of Sadbh - Live Show (Irish Mythology Podcast)
Conas taoi? How are ye? Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, where we tell Irish myths set to original music.
In this episode, we continue our Fianna Saga. This story centres on one of the great heroes in the Fianna: Goll Mac Morna. It takes place out west, and it is as much a tale of undying loyalty as it is of begrudging friendship and respect. It is a tale of the dark side of the Fae, and the traps that can be laid in their Sídh mounds. The Caves of Kesh are a beautiful reminder today of the legacy of legend that we have on the Emerald Isles. A reminder of why we must treat our wild native lads with the respect they deserve and demand.

Conas taoi? How are ye? Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, where we tell Irish myths set to original music.
In this episode, we continue our Fianna Saga. This is the story of a man who is not part of the Fianna, but stands outside it, watching. Lugaid is connected with another great figure from Irish Mythology, Cormac Mac Airt, who we focused on in our HIgh King series last year. Lugaid’s is a love story, and as always with Irish mythology, there’s a twist in the tale.
Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen. This story contains allusions to loss of bodily autonomy, physical transformation, kidnapping, and pregnancy.

We are a group of storytellers, performers, and musicians. We tell Irish myths to a live audience with live music.
Candlelit Tales was founded by brother-sister storytelling duo Aron and Sorcha Hegarty. Driven by a passion for Irish mythology, we started retelling the stories to a near-empty room upstairs in a Dublin pub one rainy evening in November. The next week, the room was a lot less empty, and we were joined by musician Ru O’Sé. By the fourth week, the room was full, and so was the hall outside. We realised that when we share our passion, it becomes contagious. And we’ve been telling stories and playing music from that day to this.
Since then, over the past five years of telling stories in the capital of this nation of storytellers, we have developed and refined our uniquely expressive, naturalistic and modern style. Live music is the heartbeat of all our performances, and a live original music score composed by a team of talented musicians drives the rhythm of the stories
