Fionn mac Cumhaill, sometimes transcribed in English as Finn MacCool or Finn MacCoul, was a mythical hunter-warrior of Irish mythology, occurring also in the mythologies of Scotland and the Isle of Man. The stories of Fionn and his followers the Fianna, form the Fenian Cycle (an Fhiannaíocht), much of it narrated in the voice of Fionn's son, the poet Oisín.
This fully produced recording first appeared on John David "Hobbes" Hickey's CD release: "Did You Hear That?" Professional storyteller J.D. Hobbes enjoyed Rikki's previous treatments of other pieces of his so much that he asked him to audio produce a selection of his new tales. John David Hickey's fantastic storytelling CD of creepy stories "Did You Hear That?" was released in 2014.
We highly recommend that you listen to the entire album. JD Hobbes' CD "Did you Hear That?" features some of the Bard's the creepiest stories! Get ready to turn out the lights and listen to these tales! Then turn all the lights back on and quiver in your bed, praying that the sun will return!
