The Danny Boy Charms and Clans Experience with Mussenden Sea Salt
Meet local kinswoman Claire O’Kane, a native of the Causeway Coast and ‘Descendent of Cahan’, a powerful Clan, whose ancestors are interwoven into the fabric of the Causeway Coast.
Psychologist, historian and natural born storyteller, Claire proudly shares her passion for her home place, a land abundant in myths and legends including the origin of one of the world’s most recorded melodies, Danny Boy. According to legend this famous melody was composed in the 17th century by Rory Dahl O Cahan, an ancestor of the O Cahan Clan and was passed via oral tradition to an English composer.
Walk with Claire through this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) as she shares her deep connection to this land though stories, myths and local folklore. Forage for the food of the clans and taste delicious wild berries when in season. Hear the melody of Danny Boy filter through the wind as the ancient and modern world connect in this very special experience.
Take a memento of decorative Danny Boy Words home with you to cherish along with your memories of this special experience.
