Short compilation taken from the collection entitled That’s True, You Know which was recorded by Michael Fortune in Grantstown Day Care Centre, Wellingtonbridge, Co. Wexford in 2005 as part of the Bealtaine Festival. The complete collection was over 3 hours but in these 10 minute alone, there are some great stories about unyoking horses, holy wells jumping fields after being mis-used, lads ploughing up raths, changelings and seeing and hearing banshee or 'the bow' as we call her in Wexford. There's a great account of a farmer who ploughed up a right of way and he never shaved afterwards. While one story I never forgot was that of a woman who recounted her aunt's new born babby being swopped for 'a fairy child'. The collection was made up of ancient and contemporary superstitious beliefs and rituals as told by the participants of Grantstown Day Care Centre between the 12th of April to the 12th of May 2005. Due to the variety of stories, the original collection was produced on a double DVD and was divided into various categories according to topic for a comprehensive and thorough viewing. Over three hours worth of material featured on this collection and this is the first time it has been shown online. A compilation was produced for a launch which was officially launched by Dr. Diarmaid Ó Muirithe in the centre on the 17th of May 2005. Music for the launch was provided by local musician John Murphy. Sadly many of the people have since passed away since this was recorded. Featuring in the overall collection are Shelly Boyce, Maureen Burke, Mick Byrne, Maggie Carthy, Margaret Casey, John Casey, Mary Chapman, Nancy Coady, Annie Colfer, Peter Colfer, Ellen Corcoran, Peg Corcoran, Josie Crosbie, Nelly Curtis, Maureen Devereux, Mary Kate Doyle, Jim Donovan, Peg Donovan, Eddie Dyce, Paddy Dwyer, Peggy Egan, Matty Fardy, Kit French, Annie Finn, Mary Fitzpatrick, Kitty Goggin, Mary Hanlon, Billie Hillis, Josie Hillis, Eileen Hogan, Mary Ellen Jordan, Anne Keane, Michael Keane, John Kehoe, Anne Kehoe, Tom Kehoe, Bridget Kirwan, Margaret Marshall, Molly Martin, Mary Moore, Annie Murphy, Eileen Murphy, Rita Murphy, Jim Monaghan, Mossie Mythen, Josie Notter, Betty Phelan, Birdie Quirke, Breda Rooney, Ettie Rawlings, Bridie Sinnott, Betty Spinks, Mai Sweetman, Miley Underwood, Jim Walsh, Kathleen Walsh, Jim Waters, Molly Waters, Mary Waters and Jim White.
