Give Up Yer Aul' Sins – Bible Stories from the Children of Dublin's Inner City (1997 CD)
An unusual and entertaining Irish spoken-word recording featuring Bible stories retold by children from Dublin's inner city, introduced by Father Brian D'Arcy C.P.
Originally recorded in Dublin classrooms during the 1960s, these charming and often humorous retellings capture the children's distinctive accents, expressions and wonderfully imaginative interpretations of familiar biblical stories.
The recordings later inspired the acclaimed Irish animated short film Give Up Yer Aul' Sins, which received an Academy Award nomination.
