"Why not donate the recordings to Eddie Lenihan"
Not really
Eddie is a performer who 'populates' folk tales raher than keeps tham as they are
He is, of course, welcome to use them when they go on line, (soon, we hope) but our aim is to issue them as examples of traditional storytelling
In my opinion, Eddie'over-edits' what he publishes.
It should be noted that some of thee tales are long - up to an hour, in some cases
Thanks for the suggestion though

There is a chance that our local Traditional heritage group Oidreach an Chláir (O.A.C.) will publish a collection of songs and stories as examples of local culture, but over here, unless you can get a grant or find a sponsor you have to raise the money yourself
O.A.C. struggles to pay the rent on its headquaters
