And at 20.30 on RTE 2 you can watch the Green Linnet with your man and Barney McKenna. Great planning RTE!

Well Steve,
I just listened to it a few minutes ago and what an extraordinary interview it was. Well worth listening to if you want an insight into how Irish Trad. music was viewed in the brave new Ireland of the 40's & 50's.

Funny, the site still says 10 September, but now it says "this week" instead of "next week"! Anyway found a link allowing me to listen - thanks.

Great program. Now I understand why his playing has the brooding force that it does.
