TUESDAY, March 12th at 7PM: POETS & BARDS with Caledonia

Whether singing or reciting, the bardic tradition of the celts is one of truth to power, and lyric
preservation of history. Whether stanza or song, it is storytelling in one of its earliest expansive forms.

Caledonia shares two stories around the fire in Ceiliuradh Glen tonight:

THE POET'S CURSE is the story of a bard who let his great power go to his head, as he threatens a King and Queen, and the security of their kingdom.  The shade of an ancient warrior emerges from the mists to save the day.

THE BARD: selections from a greater work by author Morgan Llewellyn.  An young bard takes his first steps towards becoming master of his art, and comes to understand in a very real and dramatic way, the power of poetry.

Presented live on stream.

TUESDAY, March 15th at 7pm: A Selection from THE BARD

"Song of Amergin" by Peter Pracownik

"I am a wind in the sea

  I am a sea-wave upon the land

  I am the sound of the sea

  I am a stag of seven combats

  I am a hawk upon a cliff

  I am a tear-drop of the sun ..."

~ from "The Song of Amergin" Translated from the Ancient Texts by James Carey

Caledonia reprises her favorite selection from Morgan Llewellyn's THE BARD, a fictional account of the Milesian invasion of Ireland.  In this selection, the not-yet-legendary Amergin discovers the power of his poetry, when teamed with the harp Clarsagh, as he calms a troubled soul and soothes a dangerous, violent situation.

Presented Live in voice.

Ireland is in the air as we approach our 8th Anniversary Celebration!

WEDNESDAY, March 11th at 7PM: THE BARD

Caledonia shares a selection from Morgan Llewellyn's fantasy on the magical lore of  Ireland, centered on one of the great figures of mythical ancient past: Amergin, Bard of the Gaels, son of Milesios Espaine'.  He's a figure out of the ancient past, shrouded in centuries and elaborations.

Most legends and myths are based on some truth, long forgotten . . . so, tonight join Cale  at the firecricle and imagine: what if?

"I am a wind in the sea
I am a sea-wave upon the land
I am the sound of the sea
I am a stag of seven combats
I am a hawk upon a cliff
I am a tear-drop of the sun . . . "
