In the first edition - ‘Dawn to Dusk’ – we re-live the Lightkeeper’s day - in sound, with recordings by Chris Watson.

Former Lightkeeper Donal O’Sullivan, reads the poems of his father DJ O’Sullivan, who was also a keeper, and who relished the time spent with nature in poems such as “Dawn at Inishtrahull” - remembering the “mayfly dancing in the balmy air” and the “moth returning to its daylight lair”.

We travel back in time, listening to the Lightkeeper on his watch in the storm-beaten interiors of Galley Head lighthouse. Former keeper Gerald Butler guides us up the spiral staircase, explaining the myriad duties involved in maintaining a paraffin light as a beacon for mariners on the sea.

We hear stories from the Gathering of Lightkeepers in 2013 organised by The Commissioners of Irish Lights and Hook Head Heritage Centre. Al Hamilton explains the difficulties involved in watching coverage of the 1969 Moon Landing from Rathlin East Lighthouse – and the ghostly sounds made by seals under the Lighthouse beam at Skellig Michael.
