I can't emphasize enough how important oral traditional storytelling is in order to keep the cultural traditions of Ireland alive.

United States2 years ago - Eddie is a great storyteller and teacher
I love listening to not only the information that Eddie has gathered together but his thoughts on how things have changed, on how we may look at things differently now than in the past, and so on. I also just love the way he talks. It isn’t like listening to an academic, someone removed from the material, but like listening to a neighbour who has much wisdom to impart.
