Here are the transcripts and handouts I provided in the Introduction to Celtic Languages and Bodhrán Drumming workshops. To download the item(s) of your choice, right click on them and choose 'Save As'. On further consideration, I have decided to remove the MP3s of music examples used in the workshop, since these are copyrighted to the individual artists who created them. However, here is a list of the titles:

  • Hithergreen Reel-Fannigan's Isle-The Orange and the Green-1995
  • Glory Reel/The Heathery Cruach-Altan-Island Angel-1993

Greetings! I'm Dr. Ceallaigh S. MacCath-Moran. I hold B.A. in Celtic Studies from the University of Toronto, an M.A. in English and Creative Writing from the University of Maine, and a PhD in Folklore from Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador. I'm also an author, poet, and musician under the name C.S. MacCath. My long-running Folklore & Fiction project integrates these passions with a focus on folklore scholarship aimed at storytellers, and I bring a deep appreciation of animism, ecology, and folkloristics to my own storytelling. You can find me online at csmaccath.com, folkloreandfiction.com, and linktr.ee/csmaccath.
