An Taobh Tuathail radio special, broadcast from  Gaillimh, Éire on 01.05.25 to celebrate this radio show's 26th anniversary

www.rte.ie/radio/rnag/an-taobh-tuathail/

For the show's 26th anniversary, the focus was on Manchester's famous Factory label.  This is not a documentary or a history of the label, there are countless books, podcasts and movies that cover the label's storied history.  Rather it's a two-hour appreciation of some extraordinary records released on the label between 1978 and 1992.
