Peig Sayers: Labharfad le Cách / I Will Speak to You All

Peig Sayers was one of the most renowned storytellers in Irish tradition. She was born in 1873 in Baile an Bhiocáire, Dún Chaoin, County Kerry. Peig married into the Great Blasket where her fame as storyteller began. Bhí Peig Sayers ar dhuine de na seanchaithe ba mhó cáil in Éirinn. Rugadh i mBaile Bhiocáire, Dún Chaoin, Contae Chiarraí, í in 1873. Phós Peig isteach san Oileán, An Blascaod, agus anseo a thosaigh a cáil mar scéalaí ag teacht chun cinn. RTÉ, together with the National Folklore Collection UCD and Comhairle Bhéaloideas Éireann, wish to celebrate Peig’s life with this publication. Using original sound recordings from the BBC and RTÉ Archives, the publication features Peig speaking in Irish with an introduction, transcribed and annotated text, and translations from Prof Bo Almqvist and Dr Pádraig Ó Héalaí. Tá RTÉ, in éineacht le Cnuasach Bhéaloideas Éireann agus Comhairle Bhéaloideas, ag déanamh ceiliúrtha ar shaol Pheig sa bhfoilseachán seo. Is éard atá ann ná buntaifeadtaí fuaime de Pheig ag labhairt i nGaeilgeó chartlanna RTÉ agus BBC, le réamhrá, trascríobh agus nótaí maille le haistriúchán ón Oll Bo Almqvist agus an Dr Pádraig Ó Héalaí. Now we can listen to Peig’s voice as she tells us her stories and meet her in a way never possible before. Deis nua í seo éisteacht le glór Pheig agus í ag seanchas agus ag inseacht scéalta.
