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
Shipping was very fast internationally. One of the jellycats that came was damaged and the other was perfect. Standún was amazing with offering a partial refund that worked with my first purchase of a jellycat. Staff were very kind, understanding, and personable.
Beautiful scent, fabulous peacock pattern
I ordered refills. Well packaged and arrived quickly.
I’ve ordered many different items from Standun. Everything from a a Belleek china vases to an adorable outfit for my 10 month old granddaughter.
I live in the USA and have never had a problem with the condition of my order or the efficiency.
Thank you Standun!
Excellant product had last one for over 15 years still servisable
Excellent style and quality glasses. Extremely pleased with our purchase.
I love these scarves. So comfortable, warm & easy to wear. I’ve now bought 4 of them & look forward to wearing them when the weather changes & late autumn/winter arrives. I know I’ll be snug & warm.
Cheannaigh mé iad seo do mo chailín agus tá sí an-sásta leo.Is ina cluasa iad ón gcéad lá.
