Winter

Episode6: WINTER – A ‘Festival’ Podcast

A special podcast episode that looks back at The ShakingBog’s Festival last September. Presenting a montage of excerpts from the festival programme this podcast is just a small taster of what happened over that magical weekend. A stellar line-up of artists and expert naturalists gathered in the Glencree Valley to share poetry, prose, art, music, conversation, workshops and nature trails. It was a wholehearted celebration of the alchemy that happens when art and nature meet and we hope that this episode reflects something of the warmth, energy and hopefulness of the festival.

Artists featured in this Festival Podcast, in order of appearance, include: Michael Longley, Paddy Glackin, Liz Berry, Alice Oswald, Colm Mac Con Iomaire, Kerrí ní Dochartaigh, Mary Coughlan, Roddy Doyle, Dara McAnulty, Lisa Lambe, Marty Rae, John McLoughlin and Melissa Harrison
