LatestThe Village Barn in Tyrrellspass is the venue for our final episode of the season, focusing on the rich musical and cultural heritage of Co. Westmeath.
Cúltír (Hinterland) is a six-part celebration of county by county identity. Renowned singer Pauline Scanlon and top violinist Aoife Ní Bhriain gather the cream of a county's traditional and folk music talent to perform for one night only in front of a local audience. Cúltír opens in Cork taking in Kilkenny, Fingal, Tipperary, Roscommon before finishing out the series in Westmeath. Along the way Aoife hits the road in search of the personalities, locations and cultural touchstones which help give each county its unique identity.
