Donegal Danny: Ballads, Memory, and the Irish Sea


Listen Later

An immersive look at the Dubliners' Donegal Danny, where a stranger's arrival unlocks a village's memory of storms, survival, and loss. We explore how coastal ballads functioned as oral newspapers—carrying news, history, and the soul of a seafaring community—about the sea, survivors, and the weight of memory. Tune in to hear the sea in the verses and consider what it means to survive by sharing stories.
