Скачать или смотреть Live Storytelling: Batt and Maura Burns-"The Blasket Islands"

Live! from Ireland's Hills of Kerry: Irish Tales & Music.
Batt Burns is a master of the ancient art of the seanachie (storyteller) first experienced from his grandfather in the Hills of County Kerry. Batt helps to preserve that heritage with haunting accounts of ghosts, great adventure stories, and witty jokes, as author, teacher and performer.

Maura Burns plays traditional music on the concertina, learned from her mother a well-known exponent of the West Limerick style, and as a member of the O'Dwyer family of traditional musicians from Ardgroom in the Beara Peninsula, County Cork.

Batt and Maura just performed at Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage (see their archived performance online), and Batt's new book, The King with Horse's Ears, won The Storytelling World Award 2010 for the best collection of folktales for young readers. www.battburns.com
