with Chris De Burgh and the Fureys.
In a series of six programmes of music and conversation with Ireland's most popular personalities, Val Doonican explores the spirituality and beauty of his homeland.
Chris De Burgh invites Val to his home near Dublin and tells of the way his music is influenced by his Irish roots and beliefs.
Then Finbar Furey , leader of one of Ireland's top groups, takes Val to Glendalough, the site of the ancient monastic settlement that was once a beacon of Christianity shining over Europe.
