Stories of the banshee, the pooka, the changelings, and other dark spirits of the evening, and will include the telling of the exploits of the cultural heroes like Cuchallain, Finn McCool, and Brian Boru. This will unfold between sets by the musicians, the whiskey tasting, and other presentations throughout the day.
