Description
Summary:Branch is home to more than the human element. Fairies and those from other realms are known to inhabit places like the River Styx. Perhaps the fairies followed the first Irish settlers? The people of Branch have a respectful relationship with these fellow residents and their territories. Dick English, who lived close to the River Styx on Dicks Path, learned a tin-whistle tune from the fairies who liked to sing and dance around the nearby Little Meadows. Dick shared the tune with people in the Place and it became part of the considerably large musical repertoire of Branch.
