https://archive.org/details/cu31924026824940 Published in 1898, this is a scan of a copy in the library of Cornell University. I have a love for Irish myths, and in particular some of the characters in this volume (Cuchullain, and Medb), and it appears, based on some quick searches of the LibriVox catalog, that no reading of the Cattle Raid of Cooley (Tain Bo Cuailnge) has yet been completed.

I've not been a BC before, but I would be happy to serve as co-BC, apprenticing and learning the craft under an experienced BC, as well as helping out with the recording.

Final point: I do not speak Gaelic, and so if anyone here has experience with the Gaelic language and would like to be part of the project, that would be a great help to ensure authenticity of pronunciation.

Here is the wikipedia article on the Cattle Raid of Cooley, perhaps the crescendo of the saga of the spearman Cuchullin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Táin_Bó_Cúailnge .
