Featured Irish Storyteller
Seán O’Laoghaire is a Seanchaí from the southwest corner of County Kerry. He was reared there, looking out on to the Skelligs rock and the under the dark sky.
He was away, but always returns home and now, tells his stories and the stories of those, nearly forgotten.
During the COVID-19 lockdown, Seán has really started moving to storytelling online, featuring footage of his goats and the beautiful Kerry landscape as backdrops. O’Laoghaire doesn’t just collect or learn folklore, he lives it.
