Eamon Kelly Stories from Ireland 1
Known in Ireland as “the seanchai” in the 1950s and 1960s for his RTE broadcasted stories, Eamon Kelly brought a tradition of storytelling to the masses both in his published works and for years in Galway where he ran a one-man show telling stories to enthusiastic, receptive crowds. Born in 1914, the man himself died in 2001, having traveled the world, been nominated for a Tony on Broadway and shared countless hours of stories with his Irish audience back home.

ASMR | Stories of Samhain ✤ Softly Spoken Irish Tales ✤
A special, spooky night of Irish storytelling! First, a brief look at Samhain, or the Celtic origins of Halloween; Irish folklore, followed by tellings of some of my favorite Irish fairy tales. I very much hope you enjoy!
*Trigger Warning: Some of the following content may be mildly disturbing for sensitive viewers with anxiety and /or PTSD; please proceed with caution.
I may have gotten a little bit excited with some of these stories and perhaps went at too fast a pace for some...sorry about that! :P
By the way I really tried being on camera for this but I failed miserably. Also dogs barked all night. Also my camera kept shutting off. Also. :D
I have found that every Irish person tells the same story differently, and that's part of their Irish charm. ;) You may find that a traditional tale you know well is slightly adapted in these readings. I hope you can still enjoy these tales just like I did when I first heard them! I first thought of a Samhain Halloween special last year but ran out of time to complete it. It was my first year in Ireland and I had heard a few different Irish storytellers and just loved the passion they had when telling stories of Ireland. So this is my homage to the wonderful, beautiful country that is the reason for the season... which is Halloween! :P

How To Tell A Story -The Seanachaí (Eamon Kelly)
Clip from 1987.
The Traditional Art of Storytelling.
The seanachaí made use of a range of storytelling conventions, styles of speech and gestures that were peculiar to the Irish folk tradition and characterized them as practitioners of their art. Although tales from literary sources found their way into the repertoires of the seanchaithe, a traditional characteristic of their art was the way in which a large corpus of tales was passed from one practitioner to another without ever being written down.
Because of their role as custodians of an indigenous non-literary tradition, the seanachaí are widely acknowledged to have inherited -- although informally -- the function of the filí(poets) of pre-Christian Ireland.
Some seanachaí were itinerants, traveling from one community to another offering their skills in exchange for food and temporary shelter. Others, however, were members of a settled community and might be termed village storytellers.
The distinctive role and craft of the seanchaí is particularly associated with the Gaeltacht (the Irish-speaking areas of Ireland), although storytellers recognizable as seanachaí were also to be found in rural areas throughout English-speaking Ireland. In their storytelling, some displayed archaic Hiberno-English idiom and vocabulary distinct from the style of ordinary conversation.
Eamon Kelly (1914 -- October 24, 2001) was an Irish actor and author.
Childhood
Kelly was born in Sliabh Luachra, County Kerry, Ireland. The son of Ned Kelly and Johanna Cashman, Eamon left school at age 14 to become an apprentice carpenter to his father, a wheelwright. He first became interested in acting after viewing a production of Juno and the Paycock.[1]
Career
Both an actor and storyteller, he became a member of the RTÉ actors group in 1952. He is best known for his performances of storytelling on stage, radio, and television. As an actor, he worked extensively with both the Gate Theatre and Abbey Theatre in Dublin. He was also nominated for a 1966 Tony Award in the category Actor, Supporting, or Featured (Dramatic) for his role in Brian Friel's Philadelphia, Here I Come.
