Nick Laird explores the historic walled city of Derry Londonderry.

Exploring the historic city of Derry Londonderry, poet and author Nick Laird meets Frank Cottrell-Boyce and asks how art has healed decades of sectarian violence.

Exploring the historic walled city of Derry Londonderry, the first UK City of Culture, poet and author Nick Laird looks back at a year of dramatic spectacle and asks how art has healed decades of sectarian violence. 

Meeting Frank Cottrell-Boyce, author of the London 2012 opening ceremony, he is dazzled by the Return of Colmcille, Boyce's spectacular imagining of the return of the city's patron saint. At Picturing Derry, a photo exhibition of work by local amateurs and professionals from all over the world, he considers the legacy of Bloody Sunday and celebrates a city that is no longer defined by The Troubles. 

And as a measure of its new openness, the international traditional music festival The Fleadh, comes north of the border for the first time.
