Episode Notes
The County Measure uncovers the vibrant arts, history, heritage, sport, and diverse communities of Co. Mayo. Join writer and broadcaster Vincent Woods as he meanders across Mayo.
From sports champions on incredible Inishturk, a treasure trove of history in Ballina, to community spirit in blooming Ballyhaunis, Vincent takes a measure of all that "the yew county" has to offer.
"Mayo, this county that often feels like another world – its long, rugged coastline, sea-border and bleak, beautiful bogland seeming to each something of the spirit of resilience you find here. In old communities new. What's the old song? 'Home to Mayo’…And there’s some indefinable sense of home almost everywhere you set foot here. You might indeed need five or more Measures to do justice to the county – because there’s so much to experience here, so much to discover and celebrate," says Vincent Woods.
Emer Mayock, the celebrated traditional musician from Ross, unveils brand new music on The County Measure.
The author Mike McCormack will also feature with an exclusive piece of writing on the programme.
