Mothertongues Festival 2021 is mainly online this year, celebrating language and culture in all its forms. So we thought we’d join in. Dance, comics and computer games, all in the one episode.

PJ Teahan previews some fantastic newly discovered recordings of Paddy Cronin, Julia Clifford, Willie O'Connell and Kathleen O'Keefe, which are all due to be published on May 22nd by World Fiddle Day Scartaglin.
