A
Shanachie
, in
Scottish
and
Irish
folklore, is a learned man, a historian, and, most importantly, a skilled storyteller. His stories are usually
Gaelic folktales
.
The word comes from the Scottish
Gaelic
seanachaidh
, which derives from the
Old Irish
senchaid
, which is a variant of
senchae
, meaning "
historian
." The root word, "sen-," simply means "
old
."
Shanachie Entertainment
is a very very diverse record label.
