SUMMARY:Irish Christmas Songs and Stories in The Wild Geese Virtual SÃ
 ­bín
DESCRIPTION:Join us in The Wild Geese Virtual Síbín where we'll be h
 anging out with Irish singer / songwriter Mary Courtney and Irish stor
 yteller Jim Hawkins.Mary Courtney grew up in a musical family in the p
 arish of Castlegregory, near the sea in County Kerry, a likely beginni
 ng for this remarkable singer and guitarist. Whether accompanying hers
 elf, or holding the rhythm line with her trad band, Morning Star, she 
 is a consummate musician. Her music is an engaging collaboration of tr
 aditional Irish music and a progressive social conscience born of a po
 litical education in the United States. Her bodhrán (Irish hand-held 
 drum) playing offers another dimension to her exceptional performance.
  Courtney has used her music to spread Irish culture and to educate he
 r audience about the struggles of the Irish people. From rock ‘n’ 
 roll to the ethereal strains of some ancient Celtic bard, Mary can sin
 g anything, and sing it unforgettably.Jim Hawkins grew up in the midla
 nds of Ireland (County Westmeath) where he listened to great Irish sto
 rytellers like his own uncle, Jack Fallon.  Jim taught literature in 
 the classroom for 39 years.  He has performed as a member of the Iris
 h Arts Centre in New York City.  Jim shares the history, culture, and
  traditions of Ireland through stories, poetry, and songs.\n\nFor more
