They are from Dingle area, but probably started voyage in Dublin. I am just learning about this now, having to do with my upcoming trip to Dingle. It has to do with a poet, two musicians, a stone mason, making a trip in segments in a boat similar to a currach, from Dublin to Cornwall to Brittany to Spain. Others can elaborate. One of the men lost his life on the journey.
Have any new songs emerged from this journey?

The film just came out a month ago. I am sure it is beautiful.

I should say that there is a church in Dingle, St. James (maybe St. John), Church ofIreland I believe..where you can start the camino of spain. Pilgrims used to go by sea from ireland. You can do fifteen miles or so of the pilgrimage now in Ireland, and then get to spain and walk and get miles that you keep track of. I have really wanted to do the spain camino but could not yet, and i am so thrilled that i can do part of it in ireland. you could walk that far just to get groceries where I am staying in Dunquin....

The boat I believe is named the Gobnait..wonder if that is after the patron of the church in Dunquin..St. Gobnitz. she has a holy well nearby. She had a helmet and it turned into bees who stung her enemy.

St James' in Dingle is possibly best known in the wider world for the concerts held there. Look up the Other Voices videos.

Thanks, the film looks fascinating.

St. James (maybe St. John),
in ~2016 googlemaps had St James's in Dingle labelled as "St Johns". It has been corrected.

Shame it is St John's. If was St James the journey would be from San Tiago's to Santiago :-)

It is St James isn't it?

I think I'd intended to type "... wrongly labelled..."

Cool. So it is San Tiago's to Santiago :-)

I once moved a UNIX server from St John's, Antigua to the St John Centre, Leeds. Not quite as exotic but not bad!

There are many pilgrim routes converging on Santiago de Compostella in Galicia, many signposted with a scallop shell. Many pilgrims are still seen today. I spent some years in Galicia and pilgrims were a common sight. It certainly makes a walking holiday with a difference.

Wow, thanks for that, mg. Brendan Begley is a top Irish musician, and Glenn Hansard of course famous from the film "Once".

I hope I get to see this movie.

Unlikely that I'll ever get to see them in full, I guess, living in Rural Queensland ....

FWIW, St James' in Dingle is falling to bits, dry, wet and any other sort of rot eating away at it. They need funds to save the building.
