Episode Notes
The County Measure uncovers the vibrant arts, history, heritage, and diverse communities of Co Cavan. Join writer and broadcaster Vincent Woods as he charts across Cavan.
From the lakes of Killeshandra, the bingo sharks of Cavan town, to Virginia's all-Ireland basketball champions, Vincent takes a measure of all that 'the Breffni County' has to offer.
"There's a power of talk in Cavan – and a power of water and life. A lake for every day of the year and all the richness and old connections that go with these inland water habitats.. Cavan may be an inland county but it’s not insular – there are worlds of the international here, and so many connections into the wide world," says Vincent Woods.
Comedian Kevin McGahern unveils a special piece of writing about his native Cavan. Kevin is currently on a nationwide tour with his brand new show "Shy Talker."
The County Measure also features new and exclusive music by Daragh Slacke. "Bealach na Bó Finne" is the most recent album by Dr Slacke & The Palpitations.
The County Measure is a landmark RTÉ Radio 1 series that explores the identity and communities of Ireland's 32 counties.
