Voices of Ireland

Selected Scenes

Imelda May explores Ireland's rich history of literary talent, revealing how the poets and authors from the country's past have often taken inspiration from its natural beauty.

Over two episodes, Imelda and her guests retrace the footsteps of Joyce, Yeats, Heaney, Kavanagh, Beckett and many others as we find ourselves immersed in the landscapes that we have often visited in our minds – the stony grey soil of Monaghan, the leafy canal walks near Raglan Road, Grafton Street on a bustling Friday evening, and the bee-loud glade in Innisfree.

Featuring Imelda May, Stephen Rea, Colm Tóibín, Maya Brennan, Sharon Shannon and Loah
