Irish Radio: The wonderful Luke Clancy and RTÉs Culture File spent a few days on location. Together we spoke, listened and immersed ourselves in the fullness of the sounds @ Lincoln Memorial Gardens in Springfield. Luke created a lovely series of radio programs around the entire event, which captures the tone, breath, knowledge, questions and general excitement around this wonderful natural phenomena.
