Galway Bay Folk Tales - sources

PictureFront cover of 'Galway Bay Folk Tales'.
My main intention with my new book Galway Bay Folk Tales was to bring a vividness and immediacy to the stories of the west. 

My aim was to create a collection that honoured and celebrated not only the stories, but also the times and imaginations that formed them as well as the times and imaginations of people living and struggling in Ireland today. In order to do that I needed to not only step into the stories, but to go deeper and endeavour to unearth hidden seams of colour and tone. 

To prepare myself for my journey through the substrata of the tales I looked around for the equipment I would need. It came as no surprise that the necessary machinery took the form of words; spoken words, written words, words in books, articles, websites and news paper clippings. Without all these words written and spoken by men and women, dead and alive and from all corners of Island earth, my book would have been very different. 

The articles, books, essays and websites are listed below. Reading them was a wonderful journey, that often took me to strange times and places. Some of what I read dealt with matters very far from Galway and its stories, but they all helped shape my book, and I owe the authors of them all a huge thank you:
