Update:
Donough MacGillycuddy gave a very interesting presentation on Saturday morning on the Biddy Boy tradition. Using slides and rare archive footage he allowed the audience a unique view of the Biddy Boys in action. The rich and complex folklore background to the tradition was a treat to discover, especially the work of Thomas O’Sullivan from Beaufort in Killarney. We hope Donough pursues this study and comes back to update us as it really is fascinating.
