# Event Details

- **Event Name**:  Book Launch: Old Ways to New Days by Shane Lehane
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 01 Oct, 2025 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: In Old Ways to New Days, folklorist Shane Lehane brings the soul of Ireland's past to life in a beautifully woven tapestry of tradition, transformation and memory. From the magic of birth to the customs of death and mourning; from matchmakers and milking stools to butter charms and fairy lore, Lehane traces the arc of a society rooted in the land, as it evolved with the arrival of bicycles, electricity, cinema and the wireless.

At once scholarly and deeply personal, this is a celebration of how the old ways still echo in Irish memory and lore, even as the new days roll on. Wonderfully illustrated with dip-pen drawings, this is a book to treasure and a poignant reminder of who we were, and how we came to be.

Shane Lehane is a lecturer and course director in Cultural and Heritage Studies at Cork College of FET and teaches Folklore at University College Cork. With over 35 years' experience, he is known for his engaging lectures on Irish folk traditions.

Away from academia, Shane enjoys life in the countryside with his partner, tending to his bees, growing rare tomato varieties, and crafting traditional furniture and currachs - pursuits that reflect his deep connection to Ireland's material and cultural heritage.
