Description

This month, Eddie tells a story from his own parish of Brosna in Co.Kerry about two cruiteacháns - local hunchbacks known as Ned Murt and Pat Mickey Seán. On a dark night, a chance meeting with the fairies and the ensuing singsong showed how na daoine uaisle have the ability to heal certain afflictions. But make sure you sing the song correctly, or you might find yourself worse off than before.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/tell-me-a-story-with-eddie-lenihan.
