This episode focusses on local musicians and musical clans such as the McSherrys, O鈥機onnors and McKennas.

Marcas describes his childhood, telling R贸ise that there were no Irish language programmes - much less traditional music series in Irish - on the 麻豆社 in Irish when he was a child. He describes how he was greatly influenced by the McPeake family鈥檚 music school and how since his childhood, the increase in traditional Irish music festivals and young musicians with Irish has been huge, with some well-known musicians he taught going to set up their own traditional Irish music schools. Listen to this episode to find out who it was that inspired Marcas to take up the flute in the first place!
