In the scriptoriums of Kells, Clonmacnoise, Clondalkin, and even abroad in Iona, monks labored for decades on end recording the old tales of ancient Ireland, including the tragic romance of Liadán and Cuirithir. This age of intense activity was disrupted by the Norsemen; terrifying raiders who came out of the icy Northern seas. The struggles between the Gael and the Norsemen –both epic and fearful- were also recorded in the monasteries.

Lorcán Mac Mathúna and Martin Tourish dig into this ancient lore and sing the epic songs of medieval Ireland.
