BBC Radio 4 - Irish Micks and Legends, Series 2, Diarmuid and Grainne

Aisling and Yasmine comicly rework the tale of famous young lovers Diarmuid and Grainne.

Aisling Bea and Yasmine Akram bring some of Ireland's most popular folklore to life: Diarmuid and Grainne. From February 2015.

Aisling Bea and Yasmine Akram get romantic (not like that) to tell the tale of the famous young lovers Diarmuid and Grainne. It's an affair which ended like most Irish stories - terribly.

Series two of the duo's unique comedic, highly irreverent take on Irish folklore.

Still the very best pals, Aisling and Yasmine take their role explaining Irish legends to the British nation very seriously indeed. That said, it would appear that they haven't had the time to do much research, work out who is doing which parts, edit out the chat or learn how to work the sound desk.

With a vast vault of fantastical myths, mixed with 21st century references to help you along, prepare for some very silly lessons in life, love and the crazy shenanigans of old Ireland and modern Irish.

Producer: Raymond Lau

A Green Dragon Media production first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in February 2015.
