BBC Northern Ireland unveils new Season of Arts on iPlayer

One night in 1959, a 27-year-old female singer took to the stage in front of an audience at Smitty’s Corner, Muddy Water’s renowned blues club in Chicago’s South Side. Paul Muldoon: Laoithe‘s Liricí Paul Muldoon: Laoithe‘s Liricí is a new musical bi-lingual documentary in which the Armagh-born Pulitzer prize-winning poet, in words specially written by himself, explores life and language in a series of musical collaborations.

For the first time ever, cameras have been allowed behind-the-scenes at the 142-year-old Royal Ulster Academy, including access to the judging process. This landmark documentary is presented by Armagh native Antaine Ó Donnaile, who follows in the footsteps of Séamus Mór MacMurphy through the landscape of Armagh and Louth, travelling from Slieve Gullion to Carnally, Dunreavey, Omeath, Carlingford, the Fews Forest and on to Armagh City.

I Lár an Aonaigh Magazine show I Lár an Aonaigh returns to TV screens with a new arts and culture flavour.
