ICRfm's bumper Bank Holiday
30.04.08
ICRfm has some great
programmes guaranteed to keep you listening over the
coming Bank Holiday weekend.
If you would like to know more about the history of
the Station Mass in Inishowen tune in to the station
this Friday, May 2 at 4.00pm for a unique programme
that traces the tradition locally. |
Produced and presented
by Susan Logue, ‘The Station Mass – A Dying
Tradition’ gives an entertaining insight into a
rural community institution in Inishowen. Susan
follows one local family as they prepare to host the
Station for their area and sees first-hand the
enormous amount of work that goes into the event,
both in the run-up and on the night itself.
Meanwhile, local actor and director Stan McGowan
adapted his popular drama ‘Knock – The Hill |
 |
|
of Mary’ for radio and
approached ICRfm with a view to producing it. A
successful application was made to the Broadcasting
Commission of Ireland for funding through their
Sound and Vision Scheme. Production, with many
members of the original stage cast including the
Swilly Players, began in January of this year. The
radio play was produced by Trudy McLaughlin and will
air on Bank Holiday Monday, May 5, at 12pm. |
