Second half of our summary of the Irish Mythological Cycle In this show, we finish off our summary of the Irish Mythological Cycle as we've met it so far in the first 29 story episodes. Not only is this show finishing off a whole branch of Celtic Mythology, but it also celebrates the Autumn Equinox for 2011, so we've made it a real cracker and split it into two halves. In the first half, you heard an epic poem, 4 great songs and we took a look at the Origins of the Manuscripts which these stories come from and highlight some of the the themes we've noticed in the stories. We conclude our examination of the Irish Mythological Cycle in this Second Part of this show by looking at the main characters in the stories, finishing the epic saga of Greenwood the Bard's epic poem, and yes, another 5 great pieces of music! We also introduce you to the newest member of the team, play another Pentacle Drummers track to let you know that the deadline for competition entries is the 20th Novembers Full Show-notes, with all credits, can be found on our main Website at http://celticmythpodshow.com/irishsummary2 Running Order: Intro 0:44 News & Views 1:08 The Old Man & the Fairy Queen by The Bards of Mystic 2:07 The Book of Invasions Pt.3 by Greenwood the Bard 13:26 Elven Home of the Chapel Halls by David Helfand 23:10 Main Characters in the Myth Cycle 28:16 I'll Meet You in Ireland by Kray Van Kirk 39:18 The Book of Invasions Pt.4 by Greenwood the Bard 43:07 Rumblin' Thunder by The Pentacle Drummers 56:22 Competition End-date 58:02 Land of the Ever-Young by Damh the Bard 59:17 We hope you enjoy it!
