Primroses le Colm Mac Con Iomaire

A beautiful and sensitive reflection on the relationships between sons and fathers, who themselves become fathers to sons, in an audio memoir of Colm's three month stay, as a ten-year-old, on Inis Meáin.

Primroses’ delves into Colm’s boyhood experience as he becomes every day more tantalised by life on the Aran islands: learning how to identify birds' nests, assuming new shepherding duties, receiving his father for a precious visit, and witnessing the ancient bonfire ritual at the stone ringfort of Dún Conchúir.

Music and text composed by Colm Mac Con Iomaire
