A long, long time ago in Ireland lived King Bran, son of Febal, a high king of Ireland.
As the story goes, one day there was a feast in the palace of Bran. King Bran wasn’t interested in any of the company so set out on a walk alone for peace and quiet. It was then that he heard the most beautiful, pleasant music he had ever heard.
