Why do some believe that the Prophet Jeremiah is buried in Loughcrew? Or that the ark of the covenant is at Tara? That an Egyptian princess came to Ireland? My new video on Irish pseudohistory will be out at 7.30pm tonight. Enjoy!

I am the same. Tried to listen to some of their post fish stuff, but it never clicked with me. I like some of Fish's solo stuff. Would have loved to have seen his farewell tour. Maybe I will meet him in his new island home!!

Marillion with Fish... I love that song. Saw them live in the SFX in Dublin long, long ago...

The Real Story of St Patrick: Myths, Druids, and the Truth
The Real Story of St Patrick: Myths, Druids, and the Truth YouTube video by Foras Feasa: Exploring Irish History

It is St Patrick's day, time for lots of invented stories about him (especially his so-called real name and the massacre of druids, both invented in the 1980s). This video is an attempt to correct the picture

Elizabeth I and Ireland
Elizabeth I and Ireland YouTube video by Foras Feasa: Exploring Irish History

Elizabeth I has a great reputation in England, regarded as presiding over a golden age. In Ireland, her reputation is more tarnished, as her Irish policy was disastrous, resulting in many wars and atrocities.

What caused the Irish Famine? There is no simple answer to this. In addition to the blight, ideological blindness, moralism, prejudice, and the Poor Law all had a role
