This week Pauline Scanlon and Aoife Ní Bhriain celebrate the music and ancient culture of Fingal from the Irish Institute of Music and Song in Balbriggan.

Episode four takes Pauline and Aoife to Tipperary, where legendary comic Pat Shortt plucks up his sax to play alongside Mike Hanrahan at The Thatched Cottage near Nenagh.

Roscommon is the focus of episode five, as Pauline hosts an array of star talent for a night of live music from Kings House in Boyle. Matt Molloy and John Carty top the bill, while Pauline performs an emotional version of Gortnamona.

The Village Barn in Tyrrellspass is the venue for our final episode of the season, focusing on the rich musical and cultural heritage of Co. Westmeath.
