Episode Notes
The County Measure uncovers the vibrant arts, history, heritage, sport, and diverse communities of Co. Kerry. Join writer and broadcaster Vincent Woods as he voyages across Kerry.
From unforgettable Uragh Woods, the deep culture of Daingean Uí Chuis, to reclaiming the spirit of a strong Kerry woman in Tralee, Vincent takes a measure of all that "the Kingdom" has to offer.
"Ancient, fragile, resilient, renewed – Kerry and its people hold their Kingdom proud within the borders of county and nation. What is it here that makes Kerry so unique? The knot, the twist, the power of forest and mountain and sea. The way the unexpected emerges in a day. The glory of music and language, the voice of Micheál O Muircheartaigh, the ball high in the air and the hands reaching for it, the rouse of Begley music, the journey over the Conor Pass, Carrauntoohill rising in mist and sunlight," says Vincent Woods.
Súil Amháin, the acclaimed Listowel poet and rapper Séamus Barra Ó Súilleabháín unveils brand new music inspired by his native county.
The author Paddy Bushe will also feature with an exclusive piece of writing on the programme.
The County Measure is a landmark RTÉ Radio 1 series that explores the identity and communities of Ireland's 32 counties.
