On this cassette, Audrey and Claire, through story and song, weave together fact and fiction while following in the footsteps of Finn McCool - a giant of a man whose fame covered Ireland and Scotland and reached to the ends of the earth. Then, there is a tapestry which was lost - but maybe the listener will find it. Find out how two famous giants met to decide which one was master and discover how the magic spell of a wee fairy man was broken. Audrey is delighted to tell the legend surrounding the birth of her famous relative, Robert Burns, but leaves it to Claire to describe him in song, using her soft Irish brogue to enhance the melody.
Crossing the Causeway is easy when there is a lilt in the voice and the heart. So, the young wild one and her travelling companion, the old wise woman, hope the listener will be inspired to find out more about the Celtic tradition of story and song from the lands where there are always a hundred thousand welcomes
