To celebrate the last day of pride, we thought we'd put a little sparkle in your day with a special Pride Diamond of the Diaspora.

Brigit McCone, Editor of Irish Lives Remembered, joins us to chat ILR, Diamonds and Pride.

Enjoy - and Happy Pride!

This month we're celebrating, not just Pride, but also the 30th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Ireland!

So pull up a chair and join us for this special episode, as we chat decriminalisation, diaspora and diversity.

Happy Pride everyone :)

Part 2 of 2.

'In the Midst of Plenty' is a new folk musical set in 1847, at the height of Ireland's Great Famine.

It tells the story of Bridget Connor, a tenant on the Strokestown Estate in County Roscommon, as she struggles to protect her family from the looming threats of starvation, eviction and emigration. With book and music by singer-songwriter Amy Day and artistic direction by Anne-Marie O'Sullivan (of Enchanted Croí Theatre), the show sold out all its debut performances in 2022, receiving glowing reviews. 

We visited the Strokestown Park Estate to chat to them while they rehearsed, in preparation for their Nationwide Tour, which is underway NOW!

Today we're chatting with Fiona Fitzsimons and Helen Moss - the researchers of Bruce Springsteen's Irish Family History.

Fiona Fitzsimons is the Director of Research for the Irish Family History Centre and Helen Moss is an Expert Genealogist for the IFHC. Commissioned in 2013 to look into the Irish connections of Bruce Springsteen, they've recently found additional information that paints a better picture of the immigrant family in question.

If you missed it, Episode 2 details the story of Bruce Springsteen's Irish roots.

Happy Listening!
