Maurice Leyden: The Half-Cut
The work of the weaver poets is to the fore as part of the Belfast Open House Festival as Belfast singer and song-gatherer, Maurice Leyden, has put together a new show called 鈥楾he Half Cut鈥�.
He tells Liam Logan a bit more about the programme which will fuse music and poetry, and tells us where the term 鈥楬alf Cut鈥� comes from.
He plays the song 鈥楾he Lurgan Braes鈥� which mentions the town of Portadown. (Broadcast: 24 Sep 2006)
