The County Measure uncovers the vibrant arts, sports, history, heritage, and diverse communities of Co Carlow.

From the beauty of the Blackstairs Mountains, the tangible history of Tullow, to the craic in Carlow town, Vincent takes a measure of all that 'the dolmen county' has to offer.

"The quiet splendour of landscape and place, the unique history that translates into the iconic ballad 'Follow Me up to Carlow', the warmth and wit of Carlow people - it all makes for a rich and rousing measure, a perfect way to start mapping the new year in all its light and weathers," says Vincent Woods.

Laura Quirke, the acclaimed musician and songwriter from Mount Leinster, performs an exclusive song on The County Measure. Laura is one half of the musical duo Lemoncello.

The County Measure also features an original piece of writing from Borris writer and journalist Sarah Breen (co-author of the Aisling series, including 'Oh My God, What a Complete Aisling')

The County Measure is a landmark RTÉ Radio 1 series that explores the identity and communities of Ireland's 32 counties.
