Stories and Music from the Irish Tradition

Be it at wakes, weddings, christenings or funerals, so frequently does chaos rear its head in the day-to-day lives of the ordinary people in the remote parish of Teampall an Ghleanntáin that it becomes almost the natural order of things. Even Father Tom, the local parish priest of forty years standing, finds himself engulfed in it - - in the shapely form of a female acrobat who is performing with a visiting circus.
