Duration: 8 min 28 s
Description: the Liberties is really the heart of Dublin, but what is it like doing business there in 2025 in the shadow of the famed Guinness factory?

In an effort to immerse himself in the music of Sliabh Luachra producer Paul McDermott goes on a quest to track down six Irish trad vinyl records released in 1977. He is assisted by Eoin Stan O’Sullivan, Sliabh Luachra musician in residence. Together they travel to Cork and Kerry visiting villages and townlands surrounding the River Blackwater trying to describe the magic of this music and its origins in the “rushy mountain”. Along the way we hear stories of the Sliabh Luachra masters and meet musicians young and old. As the quest climaxes, the realisation dawns that the producer’s embrace of this tradition’s past is only matched by O’Sullivan’s compulsion to safeguard its future.
