Leitrim Memory Meitheals - George Reynolds and Family Part One
"They used to say that you could beat a Reynolds out of every bush in South Leitrim" - the wit and extensive knowledge of George Reynolds from Esker, Dromod shines through in this two-part episode. George is accompanied by his sons, Seoirse and Shane, who contribute to the lively conversation. Together, their collective memories paint a vivid picture of local history as they guide us through Esker and its surroundings in true "meitheal" style.
From the days of travelling picture shows and Lord Leitrim's escapades to stories of footballing legends, ghostly encounters, and childhood memories, the Reynolds family offers a captivating journey through time. The addition of a verse of song from George's granddaughter, Sadhbh, adds a personal touch to this family affair. Listen and enjoy! (Part 1 of 2)
