About

As a cultural conservative, and in the face of the onslaught of the trans-national 'woke-ism', Paraig MacNeil stands for, and represents time-served and honoured ancient traditions ethics, values, and morals.  Recognising, from it's very foundation, that the the Kingdom of the Scots was rooted in Judeo-Christian principles, faith-driven morals and civil governance via her spiritual, lingustic and political founding father Saint Columba (Colm Cille), Paraig serves as an ambassador and oral custodian of his ancient nation's cultural treaure-chest, shunning neo-politically motivated revisionism or political correctness.  In contrast to this, he expresses his native narrrative and verse in traditional vocabulary and concepts, in alignment with their honourable native and concurrent paradigm.

Paraig's work of traditional storytelling with verse, song, traditional and original, takes him primarily to non public access events such as schools, mostly to do with ethnology, cultural education, i.e. expressive arts,  language, history and other associated heritage and literary circles.  The public access events that I perform in are usually arts or heritage festivals in theatre, on ships, in marquees, heritage sites,  hospitality events in hotels, and even on the streets.

The diversity of his nativelore is expressed in the original
rhyming biog, below this video:
