Presented by Ciara Jo Hanlon
This week we have a very special guest presenter in the studio, with our very own New Zealand Rose Ciara Jo hosting proceedings. Ciara Jo is joined by Kieran Hegarty and Deirdre Mescal sharing some highlights and stories from their recent trip back to Ireland.
We're also lucky enough to be able to get to play a couple of tracks of Kierans, which you can find on soundcloud here:
Kieran Hegarty - Kilmainham
Kieran Hegarty - On the Back Foot
This program was also broadcast on Wellington Access Radio with the support of New Zealand on Air.
