Seoirse Ò Dochartaigh tells the gathering about the wily way a family got out of having to feed some hungry tailors who had to be fed. Recorded in Malin Head, August, 2009 as part of the Rambling House radio series. Seoirse's widow, Kathryn, was good to share this anecdote regarding the tailor tale: -He always loved that one - especially having told it to an American indigenous man he met on a bus once who told him it was very like the humor in stories his own grandfather told, a lovely connection to older cultures elsewhere in the world.

JP Bradley brings the house down with his hilarious retelling of a story about a man who accidently ate some food meant for the farm animals!
