On Travels Through a Kingdom with Kaya Flynn, we mark 50 years since the sudden passing of Denis Murphy. On April 7th 1974, the Sliabh Luachra community lost one of the biggest inflencial fiddle players. Denis 'The Weaver' Murphy was born in Lisheen in 1910. The Murphy family were known as 'The Weavers" as so many people in the area shared the same surname. The Waiver has come from Denis' fathers people in the 1800's as they were weavers of flex in olden times, but in 1890, moved to small scale farming. Denis' father Bill played in the local fife and drum band, and all of his children were taught how to play the fiddle in turn. Music was always asscoaited with Denis life and it was no surprise he became so hugely admired for his style of playing. Denis released The Star Above the Garter and other albums along side his sister Julia Clifford, Pádraig O'Keeffe and Johnny O'Leary. The community of Sliabh Luachra still remember him to this very day and unveiled a plaque at his grave to mark his 50th anniversary of his death. Kaya spoke to Pj Teahan, Con Moynihan, Donal Hickey, Bryan O'Leary, Pat O'Sullivan, Christy Cronin, Mick Culloty and Denis O'Connor. They shared their memories of Denis, and the connections he had with the people of Sliabh Luachra. Pat O'Sullivan wrote and composed a song in memory of Denis. Christy Cronin sang The Waiver from Lisheen, which was written by Mike Cremin.

Cillian Murphy has received global acclaim for his performance in the title role of Christopher Nolan’s epic film Oppenheimer. He has been nominated for an Oscar, which follows the best actor award he picked up at this year’s Golden Globes. On the small screen he played the Birmingham gangster Thomas Shelby for a decade in the BAFTA-winning Peaky Blinders, which made him a household name. Cillian was born in Cork in 1976 and initially music was his creative outlet. His band Sons of Mr Green Genes, which he formed with his younger brother, was offered a five album record deal, but the boys’ parents thought his brother was too young and vetoed a career in music. Cillian changed tack and in 1996 was cast as Pig in Enda Walsh’s play Disco Pigs, reprising the role in a film version in 2001. His breakthrough film role came playing Jim the bicycle courier in Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later in 2002 which he followed up with a starring role in Ken Loach’s the Wind that Shakes the Barley. In 2005 he played Dr Jonathan Crane - Scarecrow - in Christopher Nolan’s film Batman Begins, which was the start of their continuing creative collaboration. Cillian lives in Ireland with his wife, the artist Yvonne McGuinness, and their two sons. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001w72b
