Eamonn was delighted to be back in Sligo again this week, for what's turning into an annual trip (his third consecutive autumn visiting the county).

To stream a specific programme, go here and click on any highlighted date within the Programme Archive section (on the right side of the page). Note that Saturday night programmes often began late, depending on the duration of particular "Opera Night" broadcasts, especially those from New York's Met, so you may need to toggle forward a little...

New book done, sanity restored. Happy to put my name to it. Here's hoping the literary agent in Manhattan can find a good home for it - may be remembered for this one...
