Listen "Mike Baldwin - Special Needs Teacher, Author, Historian, Folklorist, Harp Maker"
Episode Synopsis
On today's podcast I chat with Mike Baldwin, not the character from Coronation Street, but an Englishman all the same. Our neighbour from the other side of the hill loves visiting the old cottage near Goleen in West Cork and in truth just can't spend enough time here. Mike has been drawn to this special cottage where his great grandfather lived his whole life. This special needs teacher is the author of a number of books, he is obsessed about Irish folklore, the history of harps and yes, he is also a harp maker. He loves nothing more than coming here, enjoying the relative solitude while he potters away on his projects including bringing this old cottage back to life.
