Irish Life & Lore - Voices from the Archive

Irish Blacksmiths and Wheelwrights


Listen Later

The Blacksmith's Forge was once an important landmark in every town and village in Ireland, and the forge itself was an integral part of the community where news was passed on and discussed and humour was often paramount. 

These days are now long departed, but this podcast helps to relive those times in our past.   The voices you will hear are those of:

Jim Corrigan of Kinnity, Co. Offaly

Billy Kelly of Tullamore, Co. Offaly

Tom Good of Ballyfin, Co. Laois

Phillip Kelly of Jerpoint, Co. Kilkenny

Mick Flynn of Rynn, Co. Laois

Den Young of Causeway, Co. Kerry

James Nolan of Rear Cross, Co. Tipperary

Dan Edwards of Clonfanlough, Co. Offaly.
