    This special Journey started from the Grotto Aghafona in Ballybunion and traveled into the beautiful Irish Country side surrounded with the sounds of the birds and the natural areas of The Barna Way. The area of focus was the Barna Way a special place adorned with tress and a lovely woodland walk and Organic Farm.

    In the old days in Ireland people rambled from house to house at night for a chat a song a bit of music or a tale that was told, a custom now on the decline in Ireland this coupled with locally grown food was always on the table and the kettle was always on the fire A welcome to All was always given.

    On the evening singers sang musicians played and there was poem in Irish to honour our people, everyone sang for their supper and the food was excellent.

    Danny Houlihan in this live recorded episode captured a taste of what happened on the evening and what did happen in North Kerry many decades ago. Enjoy this episode this is Brilliant Ballybunion.
