ENTERTAINMENT The Lyric Feature

SUNDAY, 6PM, LYRIC FM ★★★★

Acclaimed Irish composer Linda Buckley has a personal and professional affinity to Iceland and in this radio series she teams up with documentary maker Helen Shaw to trace the connections between the two places, in story and song. The Icelandic female line goes directly back to Gaelic women, mostly taken as slaves, by Norwegian Vikings who settled the land over a thousand years ago. In this evocative music-led documentary, Buckley and Shaw travel to Iceland to hear its stories and listen to its singers.
