The Grief of Saint Brigid - Irish Mythology Storytelling (Live Show)
Conas taoi? How are ye? Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, where we tell Irish myths set to original music.
In this episode we are taking a break from the current Fianna Saga, to bring you as special episodes to tie in with the Celtic Wheel of the Year, and the upcoming Imbolg Festival.
So this story is based around The Goddess & The Saint Brigid, as we celebrated Imbolg last year for ‘Brigid 1500’ a beautiful festival commemorating anniversary of the birth this Saint. This show was funded by Louth Co. Council and recorded in the beautifully renovated Orela Centre in Dundalk, Co. louth, the Birthplace of Brigid.

Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, where we tell Irish myths set to original music.
In this episode, we continue our series on the Fianna, the Fianna Saga, with a particularly memorable arrival at Tara. We might all know the Salmon of Knowledge story or the burning of Tara at Samhain, but this tale offers a fresh perspective on this legendary chapter. My sister, Sorcha, told this story.
Before we dive in, we’d like to take a moment to thank our sponsor for this episode—Tigh’n Alluis, the Irish Sweat House. This family-run business, created by siblings, two brothers, is reviving Ireland’s ancient sweat house tradition. Places that were once used for healing, restoration, easing rheumatism to curing colds.
Positioned in the stunning location in the Dublin mountains overlooking the Wicklow and the Irish Sea, Tigh’n Alluis blends old Irish mythology with holistic practices, using the four elements—fire, water, air, and earth—to create a sauna experience like no other. You’ll leave feeling restored, refreshed, and connected to an age-old Irish healing tradition.
You’ll find more about them in the show notes—be sure to check them out.

We are a group of storytellers, performers, and musicians. We tell Irish myths to a live audience with live music.
Candlelit Tales was founded by brother-sister storytelling duo Aron and Sorcha Hegarty. Driven by a passion for Irish mythology, we started retelling the stories to a near-empty room upstairs in a Dublin pub one rainy evening in November. The next week, the room was a lot less empty, and we were joined by musician Ru O’Sé. By the fourth week, the room was full, and so was the hall outside. We realised that when we share our passion, it becomes contagious. And we’ve been telling stories and playing music from that day to this.
Since then, over the past five years of telling stories in the capital of this nation of storytellers, we have developed and refined our uniquely expressive, naturalistic and modern style. Live music is the heartbeat of all our performances, and a live original music score composed by a team of talented musicians drives the rhythm of the stories
