Join writer and broadcaster Vincent Woods as he ambles across Antrim on Bank Holiday Monday June 3rd at 11am on RTÉ Radio 1, as The County Measure uncovers the vibrant arts, history, heritage, sport, and diverse communities of Co. Antrim.
From musical beats in Belfast, the resplendent beauty of Rathlin, to a biker in Ballymena, Vincent takes a measure of all that the county of "the glensmen" has to offer.
"Antrim is more complex, engaging and unexpected than you might imagine. Not a place apart, but a place of many parts, deeply connected to more than one centre of loyalty, identity, history – and hope," says Vincent.
Punk rockers Problem Patterns will perform at Glastonbury this summer, and the Belfast band will unveil new music on The County Measure.
The author Jan Carson will also feature with an exclusive piece of writing on the programme. Jan's most recent book is The Raptures (2022).
