Féile Solas Interview
7 juni 2026 · 1 uur 6 min
Conas taoi? Lees meer
How are ye? Welcome back to Candlelit Tales, the podcast where we tell Irish myths, carried by an original musical score.
We recently wrapped up the Fianna Saga, and we're taking a well-earned break from storytelling to bring you this longer, more relaxed chat.
In this episode, Aron sits down with Ruadhán Ó Deasmhúnaigh and Tomás Whelan, the two founders of a small festival off the west coast of Cork called Féile Solas. It's a celebration of the Summer Solstice and a gathering of like-minded people who want to tune into a slightly different frequency. We've had many great conversations about the artists, the atmosphere, the theatricality and the music behind this festival, and we're delighted to finally share this one with you.
This episode was also released on Eist Radio, an online radio station, so we are sharing it here as well for our listeners. We get into what drove them to put on an independent music festival in West Cork, and share some of the music that will feature on the main stage.
Check out these artists:
Smithereens - Bear Trap Wild Notions/Luc O'Rourke - I don't hate guards Irvine - Maria Othermother - Inevitable Aron Hegarty/Candlelit Tales - Intro to Draíocht Caoimhín - Ríocht na SíFind out more about this little festival here: https://www.feilesolas.ie/ Find details of our upcoming shows here: https://candlelittales.ie/performances/

Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, where we tell Irish myths set to original music.
In this episode we’re getting into spooky season with a delightfully gruesome tale inspired by Lady Jane Wilde’s folklore collection. Samhain is a great time for spells of divination, looking into the future, and taking control of your destiny. But the price is always there, and the unwary will pay far more than they bargained for.
Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen. This story contains allusions to sudden death, mutilation of remains, loss of free will, social ostracization, and mental illness.

The Reunion - Samhain Stories (Irish Mythology Podcast)
19 oktober 2025 · 15 min
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’re getting into spooky season with a sinister take on the changelingstories, inspired by a tale in a collection by Lady Jane Wilde. Sadness and loss were always in Ireland, and the changeling gave an explanation to the loss of innocent children when no other explanations could be found. A meeting with one of the dead at this time of year can be to deliver an even more sinister message. This one does not have a happy ending.

The Kidnapping of Sadbh - Live Show (Irish Mythology Podcast)
30 april 2025 · 17 min
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 continue our Fianna Saga. This story centres on one of the great heroes in the Fianna: Goll Mac Morna. It takes place out west, and it is as much a tale of undying loyalty as it is of begrudging friendship and respect. It is a tale of the dark side of the Fae, and the traps that can be laid in their Sídh mounds. The Caves of Kesh are a beautiful reminder today of the legacy of legend that we have on the Emerald Isles. A reminder of why we must treat our wild native lads with the respect they deserve and demand.
Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen. This story contains mentions of death, fighting physical abnormalities.. Lees meerThis podcast is proudly sponsored by the people who donate to us each month via
