Title A name given to the resource Cork 2005 Project Subject The topic of the resource Interviewing and radio project exploring migration, cultural contact and the social and physical landscape of Cork City in 2004 and 2005 and in the past, comprising of forty audio interviews and resulting in six half-hour radio programmes and a book. Description An account of the resource The Cork 2005 Project was carried out and funded as part of Cork’s tenure as European Capital of Culture in 2005. Building on the theme ‘City of Culture’, the project explored the questions: ‘What is the everyday culture of Cork City?’ and ‘Who are the people of the city?’, and aimed to broaden our archival holdings to reflect the increased numbers of migrants making their home in the city. 37 ethnographic interviews were carried out with Cork residents, more than two-thirds of whom had come to Cork from elsewhere, exploring their relationship with the cultural and social landscape of the city. The interviews include accounts of family life and growing up in Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, China, England, Germany, India, Iraq, Israel, Kurdistan, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa Ukraine, and the United States. A six-part radio series, entitled ‘How’s it goin’, boy?’ was broadcast on Cork Campus Radio in 2005, and a book of the same name was published in 2006. You can listen to the radio programmes on our website: How's it goin', boy? Radio Series. The interviews in this collection all have a similar structure. We asked all interviewees to describe their childhood neighbourhoods and communities and to discuss their relationship with Cork city in the present day. We also discussed experiences of migrancy, first impressions and cultural contact with those who had come to Cork from elsewhere and with Corkonians who had experience of migration. Interviewees came from diverse areas including Australia, the Marsh, Nigeria, Brittany, Gurranabraher, Russia, Evergreen Street, Spain, Poland and Kurdish Iraq. The collection project was carried out from March 2004 – June 2005. Interviewers on the project: Jennifer Butler; Lee Cassidy; Sean Claffey; Diane Hoppe; Dolores Horgan; John Mehegan; Clíona O’Carroll; Mary O’Driscoll; Noel O’Shaughnessy: Frances Quirke.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com F.Q: Picking the blackberries. Em is there anywhere else you can think of now that you used to play around as a kid? T.O'B Eh well obviously Eglington Street swimming pool right – we used to go to the baths. And that was a bit of an event because we were going into town, and there was concern if you were going into town, but then on the other side it was a lot safer because any adult would give you a kick in the arse if you did anything out of the way right, it didn’t have to be your parent or know you or anything. You were afraid of them anyway to start off so that wasn’t a bad idea. We used to come down as I say to Eglington Street baths eh from Blackpool to the baths it was probably about for young fellas maybe twenty minutes, twenty five minutes walk eh and however long it took us to come down it would take us twice as long to go back because we would go to the Cork Cold Storage for the ice creams and eh like I mean to say the ice cream would take you flippin half an hour to eat it – it was so big! And you would go home and you’d think that you were the flippin Prince of the world, and the whole thing for I don’t know maybe three pence to get into the Eglington Street baths, and another three pence going home, that’s six pence and transfer that to modern money and you probably have something like two p. right, you wouldn’t get a lot for two p. these days. F.Q: Two cent, yeah you wouldn’t get a lot em Tim would you have went to the cinema? T.O'B Yeah eh obviously that was a kind of a thing. You had the Palace, you had the Lee, eh you had the Pavilion, you had the Capitol, and you had the one out in Washington Street (the Ritz) and you had the one above in Collins Barracks. F.Q: The Cameo. T.O'B Cameo, so you had all of them and eh you get to go to the pictures once a fortnight, and I remember actually there was a very funny ritual at home; eh it was the father who would give us the money to go to the pictures, but you would have to kind of grovel for a long time first, and one of his tricks was that he would put his hand in his pocket, and you’d think you were getting the money and the hankie would come out, right, so then we developed this knack: we’d get our friends to come to the door to try to put him under pressure, so he wouldn’t relent for that either. He used to go through his ritual – he’d always give us the money in the end, but like I mean to say you would have an awful lot of getting there before you actually got it you know. Eh but then as I say we used to go out and go to the cinema, gangs of us. Em there used to be kind of I remember about five or six of us seemed to go everywhere, eh together the whole time you know, em into the cinema in the afternoon, and come out and be dazzled by the light outside because it was so dark inside, one of the things I always remember; em the films I saw then were probably as good as any film I saw since like.

Title A name given to the resource Tim O’Brien: Cork Fire Brigade, Murphy’s Brewery, Murphy’s Rock, Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Fire Brigade; Youth; Description An account of the resource Tim talks about working for Cork’s Fire Brigade, and about changes to the job over the years. He has been a fire-fighter since 1975 and loves the job. Tim was born in Watercourse Road. His father worked in Murphy’s Brewery. His mother came from West Cork, and he had some contact with the countryside and country people. He is a speaker of the Irish language and tries to use it where possible. His father worked in Murphy’s for 42 years, and the job was one handed down by previous generations of his family. You were expected to drink the product if you worked there. He recalls shire horses pulling the beer barrels around Cork to tied pubs, and women collecting horse manure when they passed. He talks about Murphy’s Rock and how that area has changed. Children used to go to Eglington Street baths and get an ice-cream from the Cold Storage. He muses about how children’s lives have become more constrained. He has mixed feelings about modern life and about changes to Cork’s streetscape.

The project was concerned with those who had first had experiences of being stricken with the disease, their family members and the public health practitioners who served on the frontline of past epidemics. The diseases the project focused on were: polio, tuberculosis, diphtheria and measles, Spanish flu and COVID-19. The project grew from seed funding through the Irish Research Council and University College Cork's(UCC) College of Arts, Celtic Studies & Social Sciences. This funding enabled the team to collate material in the Cork Folklore Project's archive and create a pilot online resource. In 2022 the project was awarded an SFI Discover grant that allowed the team to undertake new bespoke interviews and grow the online dissemination platform. To date (February 2023), Catching Stories consists of XX interviews. 'Catching Stories' has also been drawn from the Cork Folklore Project Sound Archive for other related material. The project's main output is an online resource (<a style="color:#4a6ee0;background:transparent;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" target="_blank" href="http://www.catchingstories.org" class="editor-rtfLink" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.catchingstories.org</a>).

Culture Night 2022 <img class="size-medium wp-image-407 alignnone" src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Culture-Night-2020-30-300x224.jpg" alt="Culture-Night-2020-30-300x224.jpg" /><img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Culture-Night-2020-6-300x224.jpg" alt="Culture-Night-2020-6-300x224.jpg" /> For Culture night the team went to the streets to set up a ‘time travelling’ vaccination clinic outside the old medical centre on Grattan St Cork City. Willing participants sat on a bench and heard Joe Scanlon’s story of receiving the ‘Branding Iron’, Joe’s term for the vaccine apparatus used in the 1950s. Joe’s story and the event elicited a great response from those who took part. Science Week 2022 <img src="https://corkfolklore.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Science-Week-2022-2-724x1024.png" style="width:200px;height:300px;" alt="Science-Week-2022-2-724x1024.png" /> Celebrate Science Family Day on 13th November 2022 <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/IMG_5840-300x200.jpg" alt="IMG_5840-300x200.jpg" /> Our first outing for Cork Science Festival was at the ‘Celebrate Science’ Family Day at University College Cork’s Western Gateway Building. For this event, we fired up the ‘Time-machine’ to bring participants on a trip to 1958, the day Joe Scanlon received a vaccine, or as Joe calls it, <a href="https://catchingstories.org/getting-the-vaccine/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘The Branding Iron’</a>. <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/IMG_5844-300x200.jpg" alt="IMG_5844-300x200.jpg" /> The Catching Stories team held four sessions. We played Joe’s story and quizzed our audience on their knowledge of infectious diseases and their memory of receiving vaccines. There was excellent engagement with both young and old. The younger participants left with a greater understanding of diseases like polio and tuberculosis. And the older members relayed their stories of getting vaccinated and how infectious diseases had encroached on their lives. Science Week Talk UCC Student Hub Those who braved the horrendous rain on November 15th were delighted to shelter in The Shtepps to hear the presentation from James Furey and Beth Brint on how folklore and STEM can work together to bring new perspectives on health education and understanding. Exhibition <img src="https://corkfolklore.org/archivecatalolgue/files/original/d3170f22a998193439e53217786f14ea.jpg" style="width:200px;height:300px;" alt="d3170f22a998193439e53217786f14ea.jpg" /> The exhibition in UCC's Boole Library (16 February - 25 June 2023), was an innovative exploration of how to engage people with a topic that does not lend itself too easily to public dissemination. The exhibition foregrounded the human voice through audio installations (Made by Dr Jeffery Weeter), links to interviews, and interaction with physical objects. It invited visitors to join interviewees in the experience of manually ventilating a child with polio throughout the night in 1956 and to move along a waiting-room bench when facing vaccination by the dreaded ‘Branding Iron’ or to imagine the loss of a childhood classmate from measles. Artworks by <a href="https://lesleycoxart.com/earlier-works-3-polio-series/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lesley Cox</a> also explore the impact of polio on families and communities. <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1676973595601-scaled.jpg" style="width:350px;height:650px;" alt="1676973595601-scaled.jpg" /><img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1676973595744-scaled.jpg" style="width:300px;height:650px;" alt="1676973595744-scaled.jpg" /> <img src="https://catchingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1676973595665-scaled.jpg" style="width:650px;height:350px;" alt="1676973595665-scaled.jpg" /> <img src="https://lesleycoxart.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/image29.jpg" style="width:350px;height:650px;" alt="image29.jpg" />(©Lesley Cox) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource James Furey Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Cork Folklore Project Audio Archive Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Cork Folklore Project Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Cork Folklore Project Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Audio Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource .wav Files Oral History A resource containing historical information obtained in interviews with persons having firsthand knowledge.

Title A name given to the resource HSE Orthopaedic Hospital Oral History Project (d'Orthopaedic) Subject The topic of the resource Ireland; Cork; Gurranabraher; Healthcare; Occupational Lore: Description An account of the resource This collection project was a collaboration between the CFP and the Cork North Community Work Department, Cork Kerry Community Healthcare, Health Services Executive, on the occasion of the development of St. Mary’s Orthopaedic Hospital, Gurranabraher, as a Primary Care Centre. This hospital was know throughout Cork City as 'd'Orthopaedic'. The Memories of the Orthopaedic project focused on a cohort of nine interviewees who were associated with ‘the Orthopaedic’ as former staff (including medical and housekeeping), patients and locals who grew up near the hospital in Gurranabraher. The interviews, all but one of which were carried out by Joanne McNamara of the Health Services Executive, took place between April and September 2017. The project resulted in the publication of The Ministry of Healing, St Mary’s Orthopaedic Hospital Cork: An Oral and Historical Record (by Tomás MacConmara for the CFP), and elements from the interviews were incorporated into an open-air display linked to a Slí na Sláinte (Path to Health) walking route on the new campus. The project was celebrated and the book launched on 12 April 2018 at the CFP Outreach Hub. The CFP and the HSE subsequently entered into a two-year partnership, the 'Oral History for Health' project that carries out oral history in health care contexts (2019-2020), the first strand of which is the HSE Grattan Street Stories project.

Title A name given to the resource Stonemason Oral History Project Subject The topic of the resource Life History; Occupational Lore; Trades; Description An account of the resource This collection consists of 14 interviews with 12 people (11 male stonemasons and one female family member). It was carried out between November 2015 and April 2017 and documents the experiences of stonemasons based in Cork throughout the twentieth century. The interviews were carried out by CFP Researcher Michael Moore, himself a qualified stonemason. The collection explores the occupational and social context of stonemasonry; work practices, the social context, occupational lore, the secret language Bearlager na Saor and family ties. Most of the interviews are focused on the mid to late twentieth century with some stories and histories dating back to the eighteenth century This project’s second interviewee, Jim Fahy of the Cork Mason’s Historical Society, was inspired to include an oral history element to his ongoing research and documentation of stonemasonry, and this material is being accessioned to the CFP. Michael Moore characterized the project as an attempt to capture a snapshot of the lives and voices of stonemasons and ‘to record their insular world for posterity’, pointing out that ‘There is a need to document the living tradition of stonemasonry by recording people who work or have worked in masonry, particularly those born into it as part of familial ties.’ (Moore, 2016: 8).

0.04.33 Start of Interview How Tommy got into stonemasonry, Blackwater Valley, restoring boundary walls, Training in Dingle in stonework he has a different hat, he is working in the garden in Farrenferris as an organic horticulturalists he started working as a stonemason in the early (19)nineties It was down in a field that was a part of the dingle races, it was a FAS scheme and he was down there for about 9 months restoring a drystone wall he’s originally from North Cork along the Blackwater Valley After a period of doing that work, he enjoyed it, and he moved back up by Fermoy. he got asked to restore the old estate walls from back in the day, these big old houses down along the Blackwater Valley by Castlehyde where there would have been a lot of English influence- he started restoring boundary walls on his own, his kids were young a way to make a living really he stuck at that for a good few years and became more and more interested in the stone he drifted in and out of it over the years to general construction but he always went back to the stone he wasn’t aware of it but he found out then that stonemasonry was in the family which is good to know Tis in the blood there somewhere he was 22 when he started he enjoyed it from the start It was an introduction into the people of Dingle They used to have a portable hut on site which could be rolled on, it had a top like a gypsy wagon with a gas fire in it because the weather was so bad down there at the time During the winter he spent quite a bit of time in there Being cramped in this wagon with a load of lads from Kerry, he was the only blow-in. it was fantastic listening to their stories about Dingle back in the day A few of them had been in the merchant navy so there were stories from all around the world but with a Kerry sense of humour he suppose A few of them had businesses so this was a way of keeping the social welfare of their backs in the winter he had a young family he just wanted to find something to sink his teeth into after so many years, he never thought it would lead to this- it's developed over the years 0.04.34 - 0.07.59 The lads in Dingle, The west of Ireland has a special relationship with stone, Irish building with stone for thousands of years, the resurgence of stone, building proper stonework and not just cladding Thinking back about his first day- there were men of different backgrounds- he was by far the youngest The foreman was a Dingle man from out by Ballyferriter, he was employed full time by the council He took him under his wings for sure in showing him how to lay the stone Where they worked was very visible as there were only two roads in and out of Dingle- the scenic route over the Connor Pass or you have the road that comes from Annascaul Being like the west of Ireland, they have such a relationship with stone- everything is stones, the Arran Islands is the same They look at stone way differently to different parts of the world Even to clear a bit of land, which others may take for granted- they had to lift tens of tonnes of stones just to clear a bit of land just so they could grow a few crops and that So he suppose they have a healthy respect for the power of it with the mountains and the cliffs of stone, with the headstones in the graveyard and all this, and the Ogham stones all from down there- there’s a great relationship with stones From what he can see the skills that were around for hundreds if not thousands of years were ignored for a few generations when concrete became the new product of choice- because it was so quick to use and harden- so stone was basically thrown out the window So around that time there seemed to be a little bit of a resurgence of stone especially around house fronts and entrance walls and stuff like that which he suppose isn’t a true stone wall but at least it was back visibly in some form even if it wasn’t it’s truest form So when he went back up towards Ballyhooly and Mallow and Fermoy and the Blackwater Valley, they were back to building true, proper stonewalls, stone at both sides- then he learnt about the different makeup of stone, the hearthing of a stone, the face stones and the capping an all that 0.08.00 - 0.12.49 Tommy learnt as he went along reading books about stonework, lime-mortars, his first job, repairing an old wall by the road, a road accident that brought a lot of work When he was down in Dingle there were some people he could learn from but when he went back up to North Cork, there was no one to help him in bettering his stonemasonry skills so he ended up making it up as he went along Devouring books and learnt about using lime mortars as well he started in about 1995 he was conscious that he did not have a 4-year apprenticeship done but there was nowhere to go to do that, thankfully these days there is. The old main road between Rosslare and Killarney, the N71, it goes with the river so it’s really bendy- super busy- there’s a lot of high wallsI got a start of Monty Eagle? Of Brandon, he owned a house down there- on the day he started with nothing, he had to hire a wheelbarrow and borrow a mixer and off he went There were gaps of maybe 25ft in the wall and he was slowly and painstakingly repairing them all the way along It was hard work on his own- digging out trenches and moving stuff in wheelbarrows There was a harsh winter at the time- a lot of cattle down- gov decided that they would move hay from the east to the west side of the country- the farmers had to pay for the hay but the government would pay for the transportation of it One of bales from a truck hit a wall close by and knocked a massive amount- so he got 6 months more work he was able to bring in lads to work He questions his own ability- he says he was making it up as he went along Thank god 20 years later, they're all still standing 0.12.50 - 0.17.52 Pure stonework- replicating old work, famine walls, working in Castletownroche- massive caps on the wall, Annesley Gardens- the story of how Lt-Gen Arthur Annesley got men to make a bend in the river Awbeg- these gardens were decimated by a storm a few years ago, lovely limestone down there The boom came along then- he started doing general construction- he had a background in a bit of carpentry as well By word of mouth, he would get a call and do some restoration as well It was all restoration he did, he didn’t like doing stone on a house- it was a façade- he love the makeup of stone- the whole thing What he love doing is trying to replicate a 150-year-old wall It’s not about purism, it’s about respecting what was done before- and working with the same stones Most of the walls were famine walls- it’s ironic Irish people were used to build walls to keep us out from the food- “You know the irony isn’t lost on him” That would be his benchmark matching up their work from long ago he worked up by Castletownroche as well and there was a very unique wall- the capping of the wall is usually a single stone to keep out the elements- the caps on this wall were massive he liked working there as well, the Annesley Gardens it’s called, it's by the river Awbeg, a tributary of the Blackwater, it goes through Doneraile and Buttevant and it goes into the Blackwater by an abbey by Killavullen. The ancestors may be of the people he worked for, they rerouted the river- Annesley [Lt-Gen Hon Arthur Grove Annesley] was in the army, he got thousands of men to come from Fermoy to make the river meander and then he built his gardens [Now called Annes Grove] These gardens were decimated about 4/5 years ago in the bad storms, lots of the forestry around here was decimated They closed it down- he think the OPW have bought them- so interesting to see what happens Down there they have limestone- a lovely durable stone as well 0.17.53 - 0.24.04 The high caps in Castletownroche, lime-mortar, always work with local stone, quarry stone versus guillotined tonne bags, searching for good building stone, finding old quarries, Glanworth quarry Just to clarify, the overall height of the walls by Castletownroche is 7ft, the height of the wall is 5ft and 3ft of cap- the limestone is very irregular and they wedged the stones in Anne's grove is the name of the gardens actually, planted with beech trees nearby They used lime mortar which is more natural and attracts mosses and ivy. More plant life than on concrete he suppose limestone is the stone that he’m used to and he like working with it Whatever is local if he can work with local stone Pricing a job at the minute in Gyleen, East Cork just past Trobalgan, he think it translates as Little Harbour. There’s an old thatched cottage- he took a few samples of the stone for better or worse As you know a lot of stone today comes in tonne bags and it's chopped and guillotined into very ordinary sizes- easy to work with but for him it makes the wall look bland he needed to find stone to match this wall- a man told him there was a local quarry and he needed to find this quarry Quarry’s today are only open for stone for roads really he got out of the van with a stick and a hammer and he found a quarry of excellent building stone- he rang the owner and now he’m able to handpick that stone- so right now that’s his favourite stone because he can pick that stone- if he got a tonne bag he wouldn’t find any stone 3ft thick to use as through stones but now he can get them and they can choose, every stone will be the stone that they need The stone in the quarry is 90% probable that it’s the same stone used in the wall- it’s the same region definitely he love finding quarries like this There is one in Glanworth up by his neck of the woods- there is marble its pink and white- so he’ll be using stone from there 0.24.05 - 0.30.04 Stone carving festivals, bringing granite back from Britanny, working as a teacher, designing gardens, meditation garden for people with brain injuries, Quimper in Britanny- finding a quarry there to get stone for carving, people with brain injuries learning to carve- using a Dremel drill- seeing the progression of these people is fantastic he love going to stone carving festivals he do a bit of stone carving- he drive a pickup so where ever he go he’ll bring the stone back from say Donegal- stone from Donegal is perfect for carving he brought granite back from Brittany when on a holiday with his two daughters- 9ft lengths of granite for a current project he have changed tact with work, he work now as a teacher he work for different charities and different probation projects in around the city he design gardens and implement the building of them with people with injuries or a background of addiction and everything in between he got funding to build a meditation garden for people with acquired brain injuries- that’s his main work these days he only do the stonework if he’m asked to These stones from Britanny will be the centre piece for the meditation garden because there’s a history to these stones- it gets people engaged, it gives the stone a story instead of just saying you got them up the road he went to a museum in Britanny in a town called Quimper They’re very aware of their history with stone and stone carving he saw a stone in the museum and got the name of a quarry where it came from he headed for the hills looking for the quarry he finally found it and there were three men making Celtic crosses he took a tonne of stone back with him mainly for the meditation garden This stone will be used for carving Will has a brain injury and he started carving 6 months ago using a Dremel drill (electric drill) he said there was no way he would be able to carve Some people only have the use of one side of their body but they find a way to work through it they stuck with it and by the end of the week they had this beautiful carving To see the progression with Will is fantastic- he was able to tip away with a 9ft stone and finish a carving all with the medium of stone 0.30.05 - 0.35.57 The Cosgrave's of Blackpool- stone cutters, horticulturalists, getting people to grow food and making things, projects for stone carving, garden café in Blackpool- developing skills, people with disabilities, fund raising for the meditation garden, features of meditation gardens he work with people from Blackpool and their grandfathers are stone cutters and even today there is a little arch and if you look in you’ll see a stone cutters yard and their still making headstones for people three generations on the same family (Cosgrave's) he’m here today as a grower a horticulturalists growing food for the CUH If they take away two generations of any family in these communities, they were involved in growing something- everyone grew their food- loads of people had their trade, stone cutting, cobblers, harness makers which are gone from Blackpool- he feel lucky he can get involved in getting that going again The next project he was been funded for was to teach 12 weeks of stone carving and stone wall building he will be finding people who will do this with him they have a café in Blackpool which is open to the public, they grow our own food there- hoping to build something there- something functional maybe stone seating they will be developing skills there- stuff take they can take home themselves Meditation is not something he do myself, it’s for the crowd he’m working for A lot of the lads and lass’s out there are in wheelchairs are in rehabilitation for the brain injuries he work out there 2 days a week They did a 1km walk and raised 1,500 euro That money is put back up into headquarters and only some of it is filtered through but a fantastic girl is working there who managed to get 1500 put back in for a meditation garden There was only concrete out there when they started but they set up a sensory garden already- something that’s for all the senses- smell is easy with the flowers, the taste is easy with the herbs, plant bamboos then for the sounds they’re starting this meditation garden now with the stones, a shrine, a water feature- a very important feature of a meditation garden, gravel paths he’m like a teacher so he’ll start in September and it’ll go on until May 0.35.58 - 0.37.40 Cross agency work, the medium of creativity, cutting slabs, cutting of stone, preparation work for the garden he work with probation services as well he love cross agencies coming together with places with completely contrasting clients, that’s fantastic, everyone gets to know everyone in this medium of creativity It’s a bit daunting as well, it’s a big project but there is a lot of people he can call on as well they want to put in circular paths and take up concrete slabs Cutting of slabs, cutting of stones- hopefully, they can get all the ground work done and hand it back over to the lads than 0.37.42 - 0.41.50 Horticulture college in Dromcoller Limerick, connection with plants, herbs- comfrey- poultice, marry knowledge of stone gardens and wood, charity work with people with disabilities, getting funding for dream work Ten years ago he was living in Limerick and there’s an organic horticulture college in Dromcoller he went there for a couple of years, he was doing school runs for the kids so it was convenient he was never into the science of growing but he loved the connection they have with plants he grow herbs such as comfrey which has medicinal value, used to be called knitbone- used in a poultice back in the day you can feel a difference within 24 hours with it he knew to go to college that he would never grow carrots he knew for him going to college that working with the plants and having a knowledge of the stones and working with wood that he would be able to marry the three of them together and something would happen so while working on placement he worked with the Brothers of Charity so he was working with people with intellectual disabilities, he didn’t take to it- he am energised by working with people with addictions getting funded to work on the garden is a dream come through for him It’s a win, win situation- no pressure 0.41.51 - 0.50.47 Course in stone carving in Aran Islands, stone lettering, story of Amazing Grace- writer shipwrecked off Donegal, not liking the carving and then trying it again, staying on the Island for a week on his own learning to sculpt- a pagan style carving of Jesus About 12 years ago he did a weekend course on sculpting but he didn’t enjoy it Last year he cycled up to the Aran Islands with his son, he saw a sign for stone carving and stone lettering he gave it another go So, he went up there for a weekend- he tried stone lettering the stuff you’d see on headstones The first day was in a room and they were writing out what they wanted to put into the stone he had no idea what to write but he was listening to Amazing Grace the night before, a different version than the American one- this is a version to do with drug abuse and it’s by a band called Low When he looked into it the fella who wrote Amazing Grace back in the 1700s who ironically was shipwrecked off Donegal- he was a scoundrel and a sailor and really fond of his drink- whenever he’d get into trouble he’d pray upstairs- get him out of this pickle So he spent the day trying to put the words on the paper and he couldn’t do it, he hated it- he wasn’t happy with it When doing stone on the Aran Island it’s a lovely dynamic, everyone stays on the island in the evening and chats he really enjoyed meeting people he was going to scrap his piece of paper and the teacher a lovely man called Tom Little, he said stick with him and you’ll get it on he stayed at it for the day and by six o clock that evening he had it on the stone- and he couldn’t believe it- he was completely hooked he was supposed to do the Camino with his daughter two weeks later but she got a job he rang this man Paddy Crow, the manager of the island- he said can he come up for a week and do stone carving- he said no problem- he went up and borrowed chisels and he spent a whole week on his own with two stones and he loved it It was around the equinox and he had the best time ever just dancing around these stones he had worked with the stone but only for 5 minutes when you’re carving you spend a week with the same stone so you really get to know your stone his first stone there was a Failte sign for his friends So he pushed the boat out the last 2 and a half days and he sketched this type of Jesus on the Cross but it was a real pagan version- it was back when Christianity was still trying to push itself on top so it was real pagan but it was still Jesus- he sketched it and it was from a round stone- so he took for the beach to get a stone he just wanted to try it he didn’t care if it was great or not It was brilliant he loved it That was just over a year ago, he buy a chisel every couple of months 0.50.48 -

Title A name given to the resource LGBT Collection Subject The topic of the resource Stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County. Description An account of the resource The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) collection was launched and created in August 2014 by Stephen Dee and Dermot Casey, researchers at the Cork Folklore Project. The Project was established to record and preserve stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County, with a focus prior to decriminalization in 1993 but also to document the important achievements and struggles that contributed to a society that today is far more accepting of LGBT people. This is proven today with the legalisation of same sex marriage through popular vote and the increased visibility of LGBT people in all areas of public life. The collection’s aims are to explore three main aspects: ‘Personal Recollections’ including but not limited to identity, coming out and experiences of homophobia; ‘Community Stories’ based on certain areas, streets, and forms of social interaction within the LGBT community; and ‘Political Movements’, chronicling political events, motivations and outcomes such as the creation of the Cork-based Irish Gay Rights Movement in 1976, Cork Gay Collective in 1980, and UCC Gay Soc in 1980. Each interview we conducted was unique with each interviewee covering some or all of these topics and with some areas being explored in depth. We hope the material can complement LGBT research in Ireland and also stimulate further interest amongst the public in LGBT history. To date we have distributed some of this material to the public with an audio visual presentation on YouTube and in 2016 in conjunction with Cork City Partnership for LGBT Awareness week we produced a public exhibition of our sound excerpts at Cork City Library. Special thanks to all our interviewees and also to Alvina Cassidy whose research also features in this collection.

TW I suppose, when I put bisexual onto myself there would have been more fears, there was an even more different than the ones that are different so now there is the heterosexual people who would consider the homosexual different and then you throw bisexual into the mix now your just messing with it altogether but as I got older it makes me that little bit more unique, and as I always say there is more out there for me then there is for most people because there is more to choose from you know and when people ask me are you in the mood then for a woman one day and a man the next day, it’s nothing like that at all, you know its always, I’ll always go for the person themselves and whether they have a penis or a vagina is just, it just is, it doesn’t really matter that much, so, I mean, yeah I guess I just feel like it makes me that bit more unique.

Title A name given to the resource LGBT Collection Subject The topic of the resource Stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County. Description An account of the resource The LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) collection was launched and created in August 2014 by Stephen Dee and Dermot Casey, researchers at the Cork Folklore Project. The Project was established to record and preserve stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County, with a focus prior to decriminalization in 1993 but also to document the important achievements and struggles that contributed to a society that today is far more accepting of LGBT people. This is proven today with the legalisation of same sex marriage through popular vote and the increased visibility of LGBT people in all areas of public life. The collection’s aims are to explore three main aspects: ‘Personal Recollections’ including but not limited to identity, coming out and experiences of homophobia; ‘Community Stories’ based on certain areas, streets, and forms of social interaction within the LGBT community; and ‘Political Movements’, chronicling political events, motivations and outcomes such as the creation of the Cork-based Irish Gay Rights Movement in 1976, Cork Gay Collective in 1980, and UCC Gay Soc in 1980. Each interview we conducted was unique with each interviewee covering some or all of these topics and with some areas being explored in depth. We hope the material can complement LGBT research in Ireland and also stimulate further interest amongst the public in LGBT history. To date we have distributed some of this material to the public with an audio visual presentation on YouTube and in 2016 in conjunction with Cork City Partnership for LGBT Awareness week we produced a public exhibition of our sound excerpts at Cork City Library. Special thanks to all our interviewees and also to Alvina Cassidy whose research also features in this collection. This LGBT collection of interviews is stored within the Cork Folklore Project permanent oral history archive run in conjunction with UCC’s Folklore and Ethnology Department and Northside Community Enterprises, with both a physical and digital presence. As with all our material, access to full interviews is supervised through a variety of permissions and forms.

SD Em, you see I suppose my more negative was just been bullied when I was young as apposed to direct homophobia, I had things shouted from cars you know at me, or usually when I was with a certain friend who is a lot more obvious to look at that he is gay, em, but I never, I was never physically assaulted for being gay, it was just name calling, I had some problems in work, in a place I worked em but only the one place where I would come into a room and all the men would start talking about gay jokes, did you hear the latest gay joke, so they were directly throwing it in my face it was more a passive aggressive way of doing it em, but eh, I’ve never really suffered its really the only type of homophobia I suffered is my own homophobia in that I have tried so hard to fit in to a straight world where people do the whole hand signal thing that I hate where they throw their hand at a curve, you know bend it and you’re a faggott because of that, I’ve always tried to hold my hands a certain way so that when I am gesturing or whatever I would never hold it that way so I guess we all have a bit of internalised homophobia in us. DC But is that just social conventions then the way people dress and everything is so gendered… SD Yeah gender specific, yeah I mean, I would have loved like I remember when I was much younger and slimmer I had bought this top when I was in America and it was a, it was nearly see-through, it was all netting and I used to wear that going out and the amount of people that would just stare at me as if to this what the hell this because you know Cork is such a small, I know its come along way but there are still certain conventions when it comes to clothes that you are not supposed to pass, you know and em if you do your either gay or you know em… DC Do you think Cork is a good place to dress how you want? SD I think statistically Cork has a very low rate of Homophobia attacks so I think you know Cork is a good place for a gay person to grow up, you know to be gay in, em, eh, … DC I suppose yeah it’s a small city so.

Title A name given to the resource Stephen Dee: Gay life, LGBT, Loafers Bar, Coming Out. Subject The topic of the resource Stories and memories of LGBT life in Cork City and County. Description An account of the resource Stephen talks about first becoming aware of feeling that he was gay, and the difficulty of acknowledging his realisation. He tells a story about seeing his dead grandmother, who told him everything would be okay. He points out that as a gay man he will have to continue to come out in new social and work situations. He describes beginning to socialise in Cork’s gay scene and gives examples of its benefits and disadvantages. He contrasts his generation’s attitude to gay life with that of younger generations, favourably and unfavourably. He doubts the existence of a cohesive gay community and points out that groups within it often have little shared purpose.

Title A name given to the resource Cork 2005 Project Subject The topic of the resource Interviewing and radio project exploring migration, cultural contact and the social and physical landscape of Cork City in 2004 and 2005 and in the past, comprising of forty audio interviews and resulting in six half-hour radio programmes and a book. Description An account of the resource The Cork 2005 Project was carried out and funded as part of Cork’s tenure as European Capital of Culture in 2005. Building on the theme ‘City of Culture’, the project explored the questions: ‘What is the everyday culture of Cork City?’ and ‘Who are the people of the city?’, and aimed to broaden our archival holdings to reflect the increased numbers of migrants making their home in the city. 37 ethnographic interviews were carried out with Cork residents, more than two-thirds of whom had come to Cork from elsewhere, exploring their relationship with the cultural and social landscape of the city. The interviews include accounts of family life and growing up in Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, China, England, Germany, India, Iraq, Israel, Kurdistan, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa Ukraine, and the United States. A six-part radio series, entitled ‘How’s it goin’, boy?’ was broadcast on Cork Campus Radio in 2005, and a book of the same name was published in 2006. You can listen to the radio programmes on our website: How's it goin', boy? Radio Series. The interviews in this collection all have a similar structure. We asked all interviewees to describe their childhood neighbourhoods and communities and to discuss their relationship with Cork city in the present day. We also discussed experiences of migrancy, first impressions and cultural contact with those who had come to Cork from elsewhere and with Corkonians who had experience of migration. Interviewees came from diverse areas including Australia, the Marsh, Nigeria, Brittany, Gurranabraher, Russia, Evergreen Street, Spain, Poland and Kurdish Iraq. The collection project was carried out from March 2004 – June 2005.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com J.M: Very good ok. So we’ll move nearer the present. Could you tell me how you happened to arrive in Cork? S.W: This is kind of a long story (Laughs). Em before I came over to Cork I was actually working in Orkney, which is an island off the North of Scotland, like way way off the North of Scotland. Em and I was still seeing my friends from Yorkshire. Now one of my friends he works in the IT industry, and he got free flights over to Cork one weekend to do a job, so I came over with him, em and when we were over (this must have been not too long ago, three, four years ago now) we decided to do the Midleton Distillery Tour so we went up to Midleton, and did the tour, sampled the whiskey, and we thought this is quite a nice, small town, so we stayed around and we went into a place called McDaid’s for a drink, and one drink led to another and we were having a great time in there and I was chatting to some of the local, local ladies, one of whom is now my wife (she took my eye, I took her eye) so I went back over to Scotland, to Orkney, and we were corresponding and maybe two or three times a year we would meet up em Edinburgh, London, wherever was kind of halfway between us. One thing led to another, it got kind of serious, and it got kind of expensive as well seeing each other, so we were discussing would Aine come over to Orkney, and would I go to Cork, and Orkney is such a small place – there’d be more opportunities in Cork – so I ended up coming over in January 2003 em we became engaged and we were actually married in August 2003. So that’s how I’m here, I think I’m getting my dates a bit confused! J.M: Yeah, yeah I’m sure that’s no problem! S.W: It was January 2002 which I came over, and we got married August 2003, so that’s why I’m here!

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com My familiarity with Fota House is really more to do with Fota gardens, I did a course there, on the history of Irish Gardens and I also became familiar with the frameyard garden, the frameyard was really part of the production garden, so what people forget about country houses, is that the house and the garden were one entity, they were not separate entities, the garden provided the fruit and vegetables for the family and for some of the staff, and the garden also provided, a supply of flowers in bloom for every month of the summer, essentially. Now it was the head gardeners job to provide army after army of flowers in bloom, also to provide, soft fruit, for the desert section of the families dinners and for the guests, so the house and the garden really were two sides of the same coin, now when we think, of gardens and gardeners, we have an image of some guy raking up leaves in a field, the gardener in a country house had the most important position, aside from that of the butler or the leader of the household staff. Now the gardener, occupied quite an unusual position because to be the head gardener was to occupy a fairly elevated social position, it was a way, in which young men, usually who would have started as gardeners boys and then became foreman, journeymen, foreman, and then head gardeners, it was a way for them to elevate their social position but really to be head gardener was to be a very important person, because you liaised with the master of the house particularly in the Victorian period, the leaders of aristocratic families competed with each other in raising exotic plants and flowers and the head gardener worked quite closely with the head of the household to achieve success with garden specimens, very often these were quite exotic and the reason they had exotic plants and flowers, was because Ireland was then nominally part of the British Empire and Irish and British plant hunters went out and brought back seeds and specimens, which people then competed to bring to bloom, or to bring to, bring to success.

Title A name given to the resource Showbands Subject The topic of the resource Interview collection exploring the ‘showband era’ (late 1950s to early 1970s) in Ireland from the perspective of Cork-based musicians and family members. Six audio interviews with eight people totalling 251 minutes. Description An account of the resource In 1996-1997, researcher Stephen Hunter interviewed a range of musicians, family members and one author on their memories of the ‘showband era’ in Ireland. In the first interview, Seán Lucy (clarinet and saxophone player with Cork band the Dixies from 1954) and Terry McCarthy (singer with the Dixies from 1985) speak briefly about their backgrounds and childhoods in Cork before tracing their musical careers and discussing their experiences as members of the Dixies. Tommy Rooney from Crosshaven recounts playing with army and civilian bands (Trumpet player) before founding the Second City Jazz Band, and talks about the showband era and his experiences of playing in Cork and in Protestant halls in Northern Ireland. Pat Nolan, a saxophone and clarinet player who grew up on Cork City’s Northside, traces the rise and fall of the showbands on the Island of Ireland, and describes playing in dancehalls in Northern Ireland. Vincent Power, author of the book Send ‘Em Home Sweatin’, reflects on the showband phenomenon in his interview. Liam Foley from Blackpool, Cork, a drummer and guitarist, recalls his experiences as a musician in that era. Frances McCarthy and Betty O’Mahony, wife and daughter of the late Christy O’Mahony who played bass with the Dixies from 1958-1985, talks about Christy’s involvement with the band.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com S.H: What was your introduction to the band, Terry? T.M: To this band the Dixies? Ah well, I mean as I said, I was pretty young when the Showbands took off in the early 60's, now, you know. I didn't join a band until 1968 so, then I was with that band for about six or seven years, local band here in Cork. S.H: What were they called? T.M: The Sunset. Then I moved on to the cabaret scene, because there was a big demand for cabaret spots in clubs and places all over the place you know, so that suited me fine, and I did that for many years. And then I got an introduction to sing with the Dixies, they needed a singer and at that stage I'll be honest… S.L: When was that? T.M: '85, it was 1985. S.H: So you really have been in awe of these guys, because you had been around. you respected them obviously. T.M: Oh yes, definitely, I mean.. S.L: They played relief to us he was in the relief band (both laugh) T.M: The Dixies were the big Showband from Cork and at the time it was a bit of an honour to be asked to join them you know, and I enjoyed it, and I'm still with them now eleven years later. I joined as the youngest member of the band, I was the baby of the band, now I'm the oldest member of the band, they're all retired; a couple of them died actually. S.H: Yeah. Do you think the phenomenon was something that seemed to be gathering momentum gradually, or something that happened fairly quickly? S.L: Yeah well... T.M: Once it took off it took off, it took off pretty quick. S.L: We went professional, we packed in our jobs, our good jobs, our day jobs, and went professional in 1961. It took off from there.

Title A name given to the resource Sean Lucey, Terry McCarthy: Blackpool, Dixies Showband Description An account of the resource Seán Lucy was born in 1936. Seán is from a family of four. He started work as a radio and television repairman in 1950, before becoming a professional musician in 1960. He played the clarinet. He played with the Butter Exchange Band, a brass and reed band that started in the late 1940s. Terry McCarthy was born in 1948. Terry is from a family of eight. He became a stonecutter in 1963. He joined a band in 1968 and began a career in music; he was a vocalist. Both were educated by the Christian Brothers at the North Monastery. Seán and Terry talk about the Irish showband scene, and their band, the Dixies. The band started playing Trad Jazz as the Dixieland band, copying English bands who copied American bands. Terry had been in a band called The Sunset; joined the Dixies in 1985. The Dixies went professional in 1961, toured England and America. Showbands had to leave the country during Lent and play elsewhere. They identify the heyday of the showbands as being approximately from 1965 to 1971. Seán’s favourite venue in Cork was the Arcadia, in Lower Road, later the CIE club, with audiences of 3,000. They played in Northern Ireland before The Troubles began. Rory Gallagher played support to The Dixies when he was very young. Terry saw Rory’s band Taste play their first gig, at the Cavern Club, Leitrim Street. The arrival of discos killed the live music scene. They discuss the extent of the Northside area. They topped the bill at Carnegie Hall, New York in 1964. The band has an entry in the Guinness Encyclopaedia of Popular Music.

Title A name given to the resource The Cork Memory Map Collection Subject The topic of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. Description An account of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. In 2010, the Cork Folklore Project initiated a new collection and dissemination project, entitled the Cork Memory Map. We wished to step up our interviewing programme and enhance public access to our holdings through the creation of an online map of stories and memories. A central concern in this initial stage was to keep our research agenda as open as possible in terms of generating accounts of everyday life in the city down through the years. As we were not carrying out topic-focussed interviews (in contrast to previous projects on topics such as song in the Northside, drag hunting and occupational lore), the place-based focus enabled us to explore everyday life at different stages of interviewees’ life histories, remaining open to cues from the interviewees while maintaining a sense of direction and purpose for all involved. The fact that the interviews were structured around memories of place, rather than taking the form of life history interviews, also had an impact on the material gathered. The initial phase of interviewing was carried out in the main with older residents of Cork City, Ireland, who grew up in the city centre or adjacent suburbs and who were born between 1929 and 1950. Lasting between 45 minutes and two hours, individual interviews in the Memory Map project tend to follow a similar pattern. A description of the interviewee’s childhood neighbourhood is followed by a succession of ‘grand tour’ questions about daily routines, work and play within the neighbourhood. Places important or familiar to interviewees were explored, as were routes habitually taken through the landscape. This narrative base was used as a springboard for using cues provided by the interviewees as the basis for follow-up questions on significant people and activities mentioned. A sub-collection of shorter interviews was generated during Heritage Week (20-28 August) 2011. The Cork Folklore Project, in collaboration with Civic Trust House, launched the Memory Map Project with an exhibition and collection event throughout the week. Visitors to the exhibition were invited to ‘put themselves on the map’ through short interviews. The Memory Map also featured in a ten-minute Curious Ear documentary broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 during Heritage Week, and available as a podcast (The Curious Ear/Documentary on One (Cork City Memory Map) http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/2011/0816/646858-curious-ear-doconone-cork-city-memory-map/). The bulk of the interviews were carried out between July and December 2010 (21 interviews), with 9 full-length interviews carried out in the second half of 2011, along with 18 shorter interviews carried out during heritage week, 23-27 August 2011, and 9 interviews in the second half of 2012. 1 video interview was carried out in January 2014 with Memory Map interviewee Pat Speight. The design for the map and supporting database design was carried out by Cheryl Donaghue (UCC) as project work for an MSc in Interactive Media, with assistance from Colin Mac Hale. The Project received support for the further technical development of the map from the Irish Heritage Council in 2012. The map itself has undergone various iterations, the most recent being its preparation for use on the Omeka platform by the CFP team and PhD candidate Penny Johnston in 2016/2017. Existing and subsequent interviews from the CFP collections have also been utilised for the online mapping dissemination project: the interviews designated as ‘memory map’ interviews are those carried out specifically with the map in mind from 2010 onwards. Support: This project was supported by the Heritage Council of Ireland in the Heritage Education Community and Outreach grant scheme, 2012, and also received support from the Cork City Council Community Grants Scheme.

If you wish to access further archival material for this interview or other interviews please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com B S: Sean, when you were standing at your front door, could you describe to me your street, you know what was opposite you, what was maybe your view? S L: I certainly can, I certainly can. Outside my door eh of one-eight-five was the blank wall with the background of Mount Saint Joseph’s eh brothers college. It was the mother house of the Presentation Brothers of the world so to speak and that was truly the mother house which is today -- in, in today’s terms is used as Share accommodation. Eh the Brothers are out of it as such but eh there were dozens of brothers there and you’d see them marching in and there was a lovely big driveway and majestic-looking steps going up into that beautiful building off Blarney Street. It’s eh -- the the steps are done away with, the driveway is still there. Some local people are actually working up there with the, the older folks there now that are accommodated above there and em the -- I’d say it’s lovely inside there because it was a beautiful building. But right across the road from me was the eh derelict site so to speak. There were ten or twelve houses there for the last I’d say about ten years right across the road at this point now so that side was totally occupied at this point but em. When we’d lose a ball playing outside our doors now so to speak -- because there was very little traffic in the forties right up long the whole lot of the fifties. We’d have steering cars out in the middle of the road. There wouldn’t be a car on the road and we’d oil em up in such a way like -- who was going to be the fastest coming down to the Brothers’ gate you know and em all of that and we spent hours oiling them up and the old ball bearings from the garages we, we’d go to a garage and say, ‘Have you any old ball bearings?’ and we’d get a set, they’d be delighted to give them. And eh then we’re out the country then, to make another bob then -- was eh picking the blackberries and bringing them in to the market or bringing them down to Ogilvie and Moore’s and we’d actually pick bucket-loads of them but you’d have to get the down before the day’s end because if you left them over for the next day there was a kind of a fur, they weren’t as fresh looking as the day before, and you’re going to lose money by saying -- ah they’re yesterday’s fruit. But they’d still take them but if you can get down there and run yourself back down into the city and get, get them sold you get a nice couple of bob then and we’d do that for days, for as long as the season would last and em they were all little bits and then we, we’d have our little bits gamble then with our bowl playing and whatever. And all of the friends and the friends that were there that time are my friends today. S- Anywhere in town or going out the road, you’re friends forever with them. And they’d be literally hundreds and hundreds of people of at those bowl-playing scores at the time. My dad was very involved as well on the -- for the -- bringing senior players on the Clogheen Road and we’d play out then to the, the laneway running down to the Curraghk-- Curraghkippane em graveyard which is two or three miles I’d say in length in the score. ‘Twould take hours to get there. Trying to push out the amount of people at the time but they were -- you’d never think of home you know or food or anything you’d just be out there. You’re part and parcel of the scene that was in it. ‘Twas a lovely social scene you know. I think the kids today you know eh -- there’s a different direction today but the minute the television came there in -- what? ’60, '61, '2 whatever time around that -- when you were renting a television at the, at the time and it just sucked the children in off of the streets literally overnight, and ‘twas never the same after.

Title A name given to the resource Seán Lane: Blarney Street, Butchers, Bowling, Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Description An account of the resource Seán Lane was born in 1942. His parents were both from Blarney Street, where he was raised. His father was a bacon butcher. He talks about his childhood. Children were always on the lookout for any opportunity to make a penny, such as cow-herding or picking fruit. There was a great community spirit. People made do with allotments and bird-catching, they kept pigs, hens or cows. Some traders collected household waste as pig-feed. Children played in the streets but once television came in the 1960s, they stayed indoors. He tells a funny story about leading a horse through a pub. He describes playing bowls, learning to dance in the dance halls in the late 1950s. He remembers some of the street characters from his childhood. Seán’s father later had a shop and he pickled meat there; poor people ate offal bones, which had quite a lot of meat still on them. He recalls the various slaughterhouses around Blarney Street.

Title A name given to the resource The Cork Memory Map Collection Subject The topic of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. Description An account of the resource A place-based interviewing project exploring everyday life in Cork City, with excerpts disseminated on a series of online digital maps. In 2010, the Cork Folklore Project initiated a new collection and dissemination project, entitled the Cork Memory Map. We wished to step up our interviewing programme and enhance public access to our holdings through the creation of an online map of stories and memories. A central concern in this initial stage was to keep our research agenda as open as possible in terms of generating accounts of everyday life in the city down through the years. As we were not carrying out topic-focussed interviews (in contrast to previous projects on topics such as song in the Northside, drag hunting and occupational lore), the place-based focus enabled us to explore everyday life at different stages of interviewees’ life histories, remaining open to cues from the interviewees while maintaining a sense of direction and purpose for all involved. The fact that the interviews were structured around memories of place, rather than taking the form of life history interviews, also had an impact on the material gathered. The initial phase of interviewing was carried out in the main with older residents of Cork City, Ireland, who grew up in the city centre or adjacent suburbs and who were born between 1929 and 1950. Lasting between 45 minutes and two hours, individual interviews in the Memory Map project tend to follow a similar pattern. A description of the interviewee’s childhood neighbourhood is followed by a succession of ‘grand tour’ questions about daily routines, work and play within the neighbourhood. Places important or familiar to interviewees were explored, as were routes habitually taken through the landscape. This narrative base was used as a springboard for using cues provided by the interviewees as the basis for follow-up questions on significant people and activities mentioned. A sub-collection of shorter interviews was generated during Heritage Week (20-28 August) 2011. The Cork Folklore Project, in collaboration with Civic Trust House, launched the Memory Map Project with an exhibition and collection event throughout the week. Visitors to the exhibition were invited to ‘put themselves on the map’ through short interviews. The Memory Map also featured in a ten-minute Curious Ear documentary broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 during Heritage Week, and available as a podcast (The Curious Ear/Documentary on One (Cork City Memory Map) http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/2011/0816/646858-curious-ear-doconone-cork-city-memory-map/). The bulk of the interviews were carried out between July and December 2010 (21 interviews), with 9 full-length interviews carried out in the second half of 2011, along with 18 shorter interviews carried out during heritage week, 23-27 August 2011, and 9 interviews in the second half of 2012. 1 video interview was carried out in January 2014 with Memory Map interviewee Pat Speight. The design for the map and supporting database design was carried out by Cheryl Donaghue (UCC) as project work for an MSc in Interactive Media, with assistance from Colin Mac Hale. The Project received support for the further technical development of the map from the Irish Heritage Council in 2012. The map itself has undergone various iterations, the most recent being its preparation for use on the Omeka platform by the CFP team and PhD candidate Penny Johnston in 2016/2017. Existing and subsequent interviews from the CFP collections have also been utilised for the online mapping dissemination project: the interviews designated as ‘memory map’ interviews are those carried out specifically with the map in mind from 2010 onwards. Support: This project was supported by the Heritage Council of Ireland in the Heritage Education Community and Outreach grant scheme, 2012, and also received support from the Cork City Council Community Grants Scheme.

If you wish to access further archival material for this interview or other interviews please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com S.B: I grew up on the Commons Road in Blackpool, em and it was a great place to grow up. Everyone left their doors open, so everyone would walk in and out of each other's houses. So it was it was a great place to grow up. We had a huge field, it’s called, used to be called “Tuckers”, we used to call it “Tuckers”, it was the coal field, and it was just all baron. With streams and trees and all hideouts and little bridges em, we used to have our bonfires there and em, a friend of ours, her Uncle used to give us loads of tyres for the bonfire and we used to chop down our own trees and build our own camps and stuff. So yea it was a brilliant area to grow up in. E.H: Sounds, sounds really nice, it’s em, and would there be like any memories of people from the area that you were growing up with like any characters that stand out or anyone that’s, that comes to mind? S.B: Any characters. Em, one of my friends ‘Spriggsy, he em, he used to always just be up to mischief, always getting in trouble. Em, he was just one of these, one of the nicest boys that you could ever meet, but just constantly in trouble, just always in trouble and he was a great character. Em, we used to have a bit of rivalry with all the Farranree lads and girls and stuff and he used to just always caused this trouble. You could be walking through Tuckers and Spriggsy would be running because he’d be after saying something or doing something to the Farranree lads or something you know em. Yea he definitely sticks out in my memories because as well as that he was a great soccer player, absolute great soccer player, em, and yea just a down to earth funny guy as well. He’s definitely would be one of the people that would stick out. E.H: And what was the rivalry, what was the rivalry between the two? S.B: It was just kind of area you know. I mean Tuckers was Commons Road Blackpool. Tuckers field was Commons Road Blackpool, so that was ours. But the Farranree gangs used to come down and try to take over or something, it was like something you’d see in Harlem or something. Mafia style. Yea so there was never fights, bit of stone throwing or, at each other. E.H: Name calling or. . . <p style="margin-left:1cm;text-indent:-1cm;margin-bottom:.42cm;border-top:none;border-bottom:1px solid #000000;border-left:none;border-right:none;font-weight:normal;line-height:200%;padding:0cm 0cm .07cm 0cm;">S.B: Yea, yea but em that was really it they used you know like around the bonfires, we used to have the biggest in Cork, and that was it like. And the Farranferris people used to try and come along and take over the bonfire but we used to have none of it. Cause my brothers would, would have hung around, we would have all kinda hung around in the same gang so our gang was huge. All brothers and sisters of my friends as well, you know, we used to all just chill out and all this kind of thing you know. But yea that was a huge thing the rivalry was a huge thing.

Title A name given to the resource Cork 2005 Project Subject The topic of the resource Interviewing and radio project exploring migration, cultural contact and the social and physical landscape of Cork City in 2004 and 2005 and in the past, comprising of forty audio interviews and resulting in six half-hour radio programmes and a book. Description An account of the resource The Cork 2005 Project was carried out and funded as part of Cork’s tenure as European Capital of Culture in 2005. Building on the theme ‘City of Culture’, the project explored the questions: ‘What is the everyday culture of Cork City?’ and ‘Who are the people of the city?’, and aimed to broaden our archival holdings to reflect the increased numbers of migrants making their home in the city. 37 ethnographic interviews were carried out with Cork residents, more than two-thirds of whom had come to Cork from elsewhere, exploring their relationship with the cultural and social landscape of the city. The interviews include accounts of family life and growing up in Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, China, England, Germany, India, Iraq, Israel, Kurdistan, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, Slovakia, South Africa Ukraine, and the United States. A six-part radio series, entitled ‘How’s it goin’, boy?’ was broadcast on Cork Campus Radio in 2005, and a book of the same name was published in 2006. You can listen to the radio programmes on our website: How's it goin', boy? Radio Series. The interviews in this collection all have a similar structure. We asked all interviewees to describe their childhood neighbourhoods and communities and to discuss their relationship with Cork city in the present day. We also discussed experiences of migrancy, first impressions and cultural contact with those who had come to Cork from elsewhere and with Corkonians who had experience of migration. Interviewees came from diverse areas including Australia, the Marsh, Nigeria, Brittany, Gurranabraher, Russia, Evergreen Street, Spain, Poland and Kurdish Iraq. The collection project was carried out from March 2004 – June 2005. Interviewers on the project: Jennifer Butler; Lee Cassidy; Sean Claffey; Diane Hoppe; Dolores Horgan; John Mehegan; Clíona O’Carroll; Mary O’Driscoll; Noel O’Shaughnessy: Frances Quirke.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com K.A : I had a very good impression of Cork people, and I think I made good friends straight away when I came here, so it was really great time, and I love Cork people. L.C: Did you have any difficulties with the accent? K.A: With the accent, with my accent? L.C: The Cork accent. K.A: Oh the Cork accent. Well somebody, well I met one Australian boy recently in Russia, actually so you see Russia is changing, and he said ok my friend is living in Ireland, and I said oh she’s living in Cork, and I hear Cork accent when I speak to you, so I probably have Cork accent myself already. It’s the only accent I heard really in this country, because I didn’t live in other places. So I accept it, it’s like my own language now, my own accent. L.C: Can you think of a common phrase. K.A: Common phrase. L.C: A common Cork phrase. K.A: Good luck, it’s not good luck, it’s good luck. And what else, em I don’t know are there are Cork phrase, I really should think about it, I can’t remember straight away. L.C: We can come back to that later. Are there any places in Cork that give you a similar feeling to places maybe at home in Russia? K.A: Similar feeling, actually I’m living in Bishopstown in Model Farm Road, and other side of the Model Farm Road is a forest if you know. So I go for a walk nearly every weekend, sometimes I walk to my college in the morning through this forest, I just go to Leeside, and that’s real beautiful place, I just love it, and it really remind me of the place where I was growing when I was child, yeah, it just really remind me.

Title A name given to the resource Karina Abdulbaneeva: Art, Russia, London, Spirituality, Nature, Nationality, New Year’s Day, Religion, Subject The topic of the resource Life History: Cork; Ireland; London; Russia Description An account of the resource Russian born Karina Abdulbaneeva, talks about coming to Cork from London in 2001 and her impressions of the smallness and accessibility of the city. She describes the helpfulness of Cork people and the spirituality of the country in which she feels she has been welcomed into and helped. Karina was born in Moscow, Russia and came to Cork in 2001. She has two children and lives in Bishopstown. She is an art teacher. Karina grew up in an apartment in a nine story building, with around five hundred other families, which was a common living situation in Russia. She describes a strong sense of community. They children played games in the local forest. Karina loved ‘the secret’ which involved collecting beautiful items like coloured paper or flowers and burying them in the earth. They would only be shown to special friends. Karina started school at seven. It was the custom there that children as young as four could be left alone at home. Karina spent hours drawing, which nurtured her passion for art and led to her eventually becoming an art teacher. New Year’s Day was the day to celebrate. They didn’t recognise Christmas. Another holiday was the eight of March, International Women’s Day. They had no religious education in schools so there was no abeyance to religious holidays or rites. Karina describes Russia as being closed when she was growing up. They didn’t meet any foreigners until she spent time abroad with her parents. Karina came to Ireland, via London, she says through ‘fate’. She was first struck by the smallness of the buildings and streets and how spiritual Ireland is.

These streets link the island of the city centre with the North and South Sides of the city. They form a shopping and business area, which has also served a residential purpose down through the years. Although our broader collection contains much description of and stories from the area, these interviews (carried out between January and March 2015 and totalling 4 hours 28 minutes in duration) focus specifically on the streets, their past and their future. Interviewees include residents of the streets and their environs and those who work and have worked there, and the interviews encompass memories of the area from the 1940s onwards, descriptions of change in the area, and reflection on the area’s future. Interviews were carried out with local residents, one of whom is a local historian, representatives of three multi-generational family businesses (Leader’s clothing, the North Gate Pharmacy and Bradley’s Off-licence), a South Main Street resident and city planner, a cityscape historian, and a promoter who was particularly active in organising events in the nightclub Sir Henry’s in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com RC: It is just the idea that I will go in in the mornings to Bradley’s to get my newspapers and Pat behind the counter will know my order and have it ready and we’ll have a bit of banter. Basically she’s the sunshine and I’m the rain person so we congratulate each other depending on the weather every morning. We can go into Molloy’s and Caroline knows the exact shoes my mother likes and doesn’t like. I’ve got the boys in Super Macs on Gold Star Competition. If they can remember what’s my order on Friday and Saturday they’ll get a Gold Star not to mix it up. I can go up to the cinema in two minutes. TW: Less than two minutes. RC: And Will knows my order, the Manager. It’s just the fact that everything is so convenient. I lived in Manchester while doing my degree. I had been in UCC. You know when you had a twenty minute break you might go into the library and do a bit of reading and in Manchester it would have taken you twenty minutes to go from your lecture to the library. It’s the idea that everything was so far away from each other. Having said that I always thought that Manchester was very like Cork. The idea that it thought it should be the capital city, not those upstarts down south in London. Even though it might not have fantastic features or architecture, it still had people and the people were very accommodating whereas in London, you know what it’s like in London. TW: Like Patrick Street, generic. RC: Yes. DC: Yeah. RC: You don’t make eye contact and you don’t talk whereas in Manchester you could nod at a person and there’d be no hassle. They wouldn’t be wondering were you trying to mug them or something so. DC: There’s loads of Irish over there as well in Manchester. RC: There is a strong community but, bizarrely enough, even though my landlady was Irish I never actually engaged with them. I was coming from having done four years in UCC to do the pharmacy degree in Manchester so I felt I was a little bit older than the average so I didn’t engage as much. I was there really to make sure I got the degree and came back with it. I did microbiology the first time and we came out in ’92. There was a mini recession so we were neither use nor ornament to anybody and so my Dad always liked the idea of an independent profession that you could just set up on your own and do your own thing. So he actually financed me to go and do pharmacy, which is what I wanted to do the first time but I just couldn’t get the marks. Back then there wasn’t the same concept of going away to do the study. You just went to wherever was local. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Rosarii Comber: North Gate Chemist Subject The topic of the resource North Main Street, Cork Description An account of the resource Rosarii Comber is a pharmacist at North Gate Pharmacy, a business that has been in her family since 1964. She begins the interview discussing some of the history of the building – that families would have lived above the business and that at one stage there were even little houses out in the back garden in which families lived. All families on the premises would have shared a single small outhouse as well. Additionally, she mentions that they were able to look back at the deeds and ledgers pertaining to the premises and that it would have been a retail location going back into the 1880s. She recounts that there ‘always seems to have been strong women here’ and recounts a story of the first owner, in the 19th century, being a woman who divorced her husband, kept the business, and left him money in her will! Rosarii discusses the owner-occupier nature of North Main Street, mentioning three pharmacies in the area as well as Bradley’s and Leader’s. When discussing memories as a child, she mentions Kilgrew’s toy shop where she would have gotten pre-ordered comics (such as “Misty” for herself and “2000AD” or “Warlord” for her brother). She recalls being told off by her mother for speaking back to a ‘shawlie’ and some discussion of what a shawlie is ensues. She relates that the biggest negatives pertaining to North Main Street now are how quiet it is (she can no longer tell the time of day by the noise outside) and the recent problem of addicts frequenting the street. There is some discussion of the adaptability of North Main Street, that is has been through several recessions and booms, and what needs to occur in the future to maintain business on the street. Rosarii highlights that parking access is a big issue in City Centre, especially for the elderly who cannot easily take the bus or pay for a taxi, and also mentions that the shopping centres in Cork are drawing away a lot of business. Local businesses that are mentioned include Molloy’s, Supermacs, and Waffles.

Title A name given to the resource If the Walls Could Talk: Stories of Cork's Built Heritage (2013) Subject The topic of the resource Built Heritage: Description An account of the resource In 2013, the Cork Folklore Project was commissioned by Cork City Council as part of Cork Heritage Open Day to create a film exploring the relationship between some of Cork's most historic buildings and the people who use them. The project carried out a series of interviews with local historians, people associated with the buildings, and Cork residents (the interviews in this collection were carried out by Mark Wilkins), and drew on existing audio and video interviews. Interviews in this collection featured in the DVD discuss the Trinity Presbyterian Church, the National Sculpture Factory, the Custom House/Port of Cork, the Pavilion, the Masonic Hall, Triskel/Christchurch, Cork Vision Centre, South Presentation Convent, Elizabeth Fort, St. Fin Barre's Cathedral, UCC Crawford Observatory and Blackrock Castle Observatory. The overall built heritage project was continued throughout 2013 and 2014 in order to create an interview collection and DVD on the other buildings featured in Cork Heritage Open Day. Interviews about UCC Boole Library and Cork City Opera House, which were not featured in the first DVD, form part of this collection. The DVD was edited by Ian Stephenson, and featured music by Mark Wilkins and photography by Gráinne McGee. The project was co-ordinated by Mary O’Driscoll. The film contributed to Cork City Council’s Cork Heritage Open day, winning the Irish Heritage Council Heritage Week 2013 Award for the Best Interactive Event. A second DVD was produced by the Cork Folklore Project in 2015, drawing on further interviews carried out by Mark Wilkins, entitled If the Stones Could Speak. Support: this project was part-funded by Cork City Council.

If you wish to access further archival material please contact CFP, folklorearchive@gmail.com M W: Could you tell me a little bit there just what you were saying before I recorded there of -- was their ghosts in the belfry or some myth like that? R H: Yeah, there was a story in 1840 em there was kinda ghosts -- there was very -- a lot of superstitions around the place of course and every now and again, there’d be fellas, maybe locals just doing the maggot basically and they’d be kinda knocking on walls and they’d be making noises and people would be saying oh tis a ghost. I know there was one case in up in the Quaker Meeting -- the Quaker graveyard in Windmill Road there you know -- or Quaker Road, em like that now there was stones being thrown over the roof on to the lodge where the graveyard is and of course they thought twas a ghost and people were seeing all kinds of things on the roof and everything but twas only a couple of guys throwing stones like you know? But going back then to around 1840 I think it was, there was a -- something similar -- not stone-throwing now but there was unusual noises let’s say being heard in the vicinity of the old cathedral now, not the present one, so you’re talking twenty years before the present one was built, twenty-odd years. So again hundreds of people were gathering in the area waiting to see some supernatural event and the church authorities or the cathedral authorities got in such a tizzy over it that they decided to perform an exhumation of a woman who had been just buried maybe a few days before in one of the aisles of the cathedral. And so they dug her up anyway and they were quite happy when they opened the coffin that she was as dead as they’d left her the last time, you know was what the saying said like. So she was dead anyway so they locked her up again and buried her again and everybody went away. But afterwards they put up a ladder and had a look up in the belfry and they found a pair of owls [laughs] which were the source of the noises, you know. But I mean, as I said it just begs the question like, the mentality that was there they’d -- why didn’t they put up the ladder first and have a look in the belfry? Their first thing they did was dig up a woman who had died like you know. [laughs] I mean what would be the easiest thing to do -- We’ll have a look in the belfry first or we’ll exhume somebody like you know, but they did the exhumation first before they looked in the belfry you know.

Title A name given to the resource Roger Herlihy: Barrack Street, Saint Fin Barre’s cathedral, William Burgess, Elizabeth Fort, Jimmy Page, Pavilion cinema, Second World War Subject The topic of the resource Cork's Built Heritage Description An account of the resource Ronnie talks about some of the buildings of the South Parish, such as Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral and Elizabeth Fort, and comments on some related photographs. Ronnie (b. circa 1963)talks about the laying of the foundation stone for Saint Fin Barre’s and the introduction of ‘the goldie angel’, a statue that was afterwards said to be the herald of the end of the world. The architect was William Burgess, and guitarist Jimmy Page, who lives in the architect’s house, came to Cork in 2005 to talk about Burgess. Ronnie tells a story about people hearing what they thought was a ghost in the cathedral and exhuming a recent burial, only to find that the strange noises were coming from owls in the belfry. He mentions Elizabeth Fort, and the Gateway Bar, believed to have been established in 1698, and the oldest surviving pub in Cork city. During the Second World War, the fort housed an air raid shelter, and he names other shelter locations in the city. Ronnie discusses a photograph of the old barracks building in Barrack Street, which dated to the 1700s and which was burned out during the Civil War. The barracks were housed in Elizabeth Fort, and he gives a history of the buildings’ use. Note: this interview was conducted for the DVD If the Walls Could Talk.

Em actually the, the hotel itself was built at the rear of the building, the entrance was on Pembroke Street. The restaurant is there now today, the entrance -- but that would have been the entrance to the hotel and that didn’t open until maybe about five years I think after em, [clock strikes] five years after the Commerical Buildings itself so twas the eh -- twas part of the Commercial Buildings, the main entrance was on Pembroke Street but you could -- you could also go through em the South Mall entrance through the Commercial Rooms into it. And actually when you go into the [unintelligible voices in background 08:35] South Mall today you’ll see there’s a plaque, a circular plaque on the, on the floor mosaic, kind of a plaque with a Cork coat of arms and it has ‘The Commercial Buildings’ written around it you know. Em so as I said it wasn’t really then until oh -- I think twas into the 1940s by the time the Commercial Buildings actually moved out of the front so twas that long before the hotel took over actually the front part of, of the South Mall eh, that building there you know.

Title A name given to the resource Roger Herlihy: Imperial Hotel, South Mall, Commercial Buildings Subject The topic of the resource Built Heritage: Description An account of the resource Roger talks about the Imperial Hotel, South Mall, formerly the Commercial Buildings and the famous people who attended the hotel. He explains that South Mall used to be a channel of the River Lee and that is why some buildings on the street have steps going up to their front doors. He tells a story about hotel manager Charles MacDowell. He talks about Franz Liszt’s visit to Cork in 1840, and his playing at Hallaran’s asylum. Slavery abolitionist Frederick Douglass spoke at the hotel and there is a plague there dedicated to him. Artist John Banvard demonstrated a long painted panorama known as The Three Mile Picture. Other visitors to Cork included Charles Dickens, midget Tom Thumb, and courtesan Lola Montez. The hotel was also occupied by anti-Fenian forces, and later by pro-Treaty commander Michael Collins.
