Why does St. Brigid of Ireland not have her own national day but St. Patrick does? Melanie Lynch of Herstory challenges the accepted cultural stereotypes and retells the stories of forgotten Irish women, as well as talking about the light shows illuminating buildings over the weekend with the faces of Irish women.

And while the theatre doors are still shut due to Covid-19, Lyric Theatre Belfast's Jimmy Fay discusses what he's been doing to keep the theatre lights on. Plus, music from BBC NI's Season of Arts: Sounds New and Collaborations, and more from the Where Music Matters playlist.
