Voices of Connemara
The book contains 51 interviews among them: * Martin Flaherty on the Black and Tans * Julia Greaney on the Fair Day at Spiddal * Cáit Nic an Iomaire on making her own wedding dress * Festy Conlon on his father’s first fife.
Set against Standún’s stunning images are stories of poitín for two bob, the baker’s island-delivery boat and the trials of line fishing, alongside darker tales still vibrant in the collective memory, of landlord brutality, famine and emigration.
Co-edited by Raymonde Standún and Bill Long, who also introduces the volume, here are the extraordinary voices of the ordinary people of Connemara, voices of the living as well as the dead.
Let customers speak for us
Lovely quality soft socks. Quirky Irish cottage scene with bright colours. Standun have lovely and unusual products suitable for all. I would definitely recommend this store to friends.
Lovely baby blanket
Excellent quality jumper. Service always A1 thank you
I ordered these slippers online as a birthday gift for my aunt as, foolishly, I forgot them when in the shop the previous week! They arrived promptly and ordering was a breeze! As to the slippers… this is at a minimum the sixth pair that I have bought over the years! I love them, my mother gets them for Christmas every 2 years as she wears them constantly and now my Aunt is a big fan!! Truly the most comfortable slippers in existence!!! Standún has to be the best shop in Ireland for choice, value and service.
I bought this as a house warming gift for my daughter and her fiancé, for their new house. They loved it and my daughter is going to find the perfect spot for it! Thank you for a quick delivery to Western Kansas.
The spicy mustard rain cape is just perfect for our climate. Light and comfortable to wear and 100% waterproof to keep me dry when out and about. Love the quirky shape with the popper fasteners at the sides- just elevates it and makes it stylish and not just any ordinary rain coat. The colour is bright and vibrant - just what we need on a wet, miserable day. Love it! Delivery from Standun was speedy.
Beautiful dress design and.colour fabulous.
I was very happy with the service and delivery and the product.
