Irish Rock Music

Ireland's output of both influential writers and famous rock musicians is quite disproportionate to the size of the country. This focus on Irish rock music searches for the roots of that creative talent and discovers the importance of the rich tradition of story-telling and mythology that it still very much alive there today. Van Morrison, Sinead O'Connor, Bono of U2, Shane McGowan, Clannad and others contribute their music and their thoughts to the programme.
