Newmarket was well represented on Sunday evening s TV schedule last weekend.
After the 6pm news, many of you may have tuned into John Creedon s excellent show, Atlas of Ireland, to see our own Timmy O Connor and Eoin Stan O Sullivan appear on our screens.
The show, in its second series, takes a tour around Ireland exploring towns and places and looking into the meaning of their names. Sliabh Luachra was under analysis in the most recent episode, and Eoin took on the task of explaining the boundaries of an area that is more cultural than geographical.
Timmy played a few tunes and spoke to John about the local music and how he came to it. Some of the area s finest musicians spoke about their passion for the Sliabh Luachra music style, including Scartaglin s Emma O Leary, accordian player Bryan O Leary, Maura O Connor and our own Stan. If you missed out on the show, you can catch it on the RTÉ Player.
