What is recorded here
James Stephens is a birthplace in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Perhaps the rebel born in 1825 first heard music there, maybe the fields still hold the shape of his footsteps. Imagine a young man leaving that soil with fire in his chest, carrying Kilkenny into every room where he raged against empire.
Why this person is known: Irish rebel (1825–1901)
