Mairtin De Cogain- Storyteller from County Cork
Mairtin was found under a stone and brought up in a tree with many others! Of late he has been learning his trade from a wee man named Larry the Leipreachean, who is well learned in the ways of Eireans past. Mairtin is a singing, dancing, storytelling bodhran player!
On the night of full moon it is rumored he stands at the crossroads playing to the wind. He learnt his singing from many famous Irishmen such as Seamus Mac Mathana, Danni Maichi Ua Sailleabhan and Ciaran Dwyer.
Storytelling has been in his family for generations, and when Mairtins tales begin, his eyes move to the other world!
