82/365: Martin Donnelly in Ballycastle, Co. Antrim.

from Sin Scéal Eile

Martin plays his cards close to his chest. He was recommended to be in the project by a mutual friend of ours and I can tell that he doesn’t quite know what to make of me and my project. In his lovely home in Ballycastle, we sit on his handmade furniture. His beautiful pieces that would sell for hundreds, if not thousands, in a gallery, modestly decorate his living room. In the local village he facilitates wood working classes and by all accounts is a bit of a local legend. We chat some more about Steiner schools, playing music and bit by bit I think he warms up to me.. Come back tomorrow for another podcast/story/portrait. We’re interviewing and photographing people from all over Ireland, collecting their stories and sharing them daily.
