DONEGAL’S cultural identity will be celebrated on RTÉ Radio 1’s ‘The County Measure’ this weekend.
Join writer and broadcaster Vincent Woods as he uncovers the vibrant arts, history, heritage, sport, and diverse communities of the county on Sunday, August 18 at 10am on RTÉ Radio 1.
From the admirable volunteer spirit on Árainn Mhór, to guth galánta na hamhránaíochta as Gaoth Dobhair, and the mesmerizing beauty of Malin Head, Vincent takes a measure of all that Tír Chonaill has to offer.
“Donegal – Tír Chonaill – drifts in like a mist, a spirit. You cross some invisible border and you’re in: voices flinting high and clear on the road; Errigal shining long before it’s visible, the surge of the ocean resounding, the pull of strand and dune strong to the feet, music and song echoing in a house that will never falter,” says Vincent Woods.
‘The County Measure’ is a landmark RTÉ Radio 1 series that explores the identity and communities of Ireland’s 32 counties.
