We thank Presenter, John Greene for advance information on this Sunday evening’s programme. (S.R.)
It’s 25,000 years ago since the last ice-age in Ireland. But it’s an ill-wind that doesn’t blow some good. At least Kerry got the Gap of Dunloe – a narrow mountain pass separating the McGillacuddy Reeks in the west, from the Purple Mountains in the East.
On this week’s edition of ‘Where the road takes me’, John Greene travels over the County Bounds to meet Ger Healy. Born in the Gap, Ger is a popular singer and multi-instrumentalist – and just like his father before him, he’s also a jarvey.
Tunes on the tin whistle, polkas and hornpipes on the box, a few songs, the family history, a journey with paddy the horse through the Gap, and anybody else we can capture there on a windy day. All of these are the ingredients for this week’s edition of ‘Where the road takes me’.
Get the full story at 7 – this Sunday evening on C103.
