In 1988, Clare County Council founded the groundbreaking scheme Dial A Seancha铆 and this October they will return to that concept with a brand new collection of six storytellers and singers, whom you can listen to on a phone line from anywhere in the world. We hear tonight from two of them: Aindrias de Staic and Ceara Conway. Belfast鈥檚 Aisling Gh茅ar theatre company is on the road again with the play, Is Ioma铆 Rud a Tharla, written about the B贸thar Seoighe Gaeltacht. And another man who is happy to be on tour again is Manch谩n Magan who鈥檒l be performing his show, Ar谩n agus Im, in which he bakes sourdough bread while telling us about the wonders of the Irish language. He鈥檚 with us to chat about that and his soon-to-be-published new book: Tree Dogs, Banshee Fingers and Other Irish Words for Nature.
