Forging the Dance: Eachtraí mo Shaoil - Exploring the Concept of Folk Theatre and the Birth of Siamsa Tíre, by Pat Ahern (O’Riain Publishing, €20.00)
Mention of Siamsa Tíre brings to mind Fr Pat Ahern and vice-versa. Apart from co-founding Siamsa Tíre in 1973 Pat was its sprid, the spirit that invigorated it over the years, much to the cultural benefit of Ireland.
Pat was born in Moyvane, near Listowel, Co. Kerry, on March 5, 1932. He was educated at Murhur national school, Moyvane, St Michael’s College, Listowel, St Brendan’s College, Killarney, and St Patrick’s College, Maynooth.
Growing up in the townland of Leitrim, Moyvane, Pat learned to play traditional fiddle. His mother was a traditional fiddle player. And as a youngster he was enthralled by the wizardry of the dance master, Jerry Molyneaux, the legendary Irish Step-Dancer of North Kerry.
