Bushmills, Supermoon and Boho Village

BBC Radio Ulster - Your Place and Mine, Bushmills, Supermoon and Boho Village

The people, places and stories that make Northern Ireland unique.

30 years in waiting - Anne Marie meets Bushmill's newest cooper. Why you should look to the sky on Tuesday and what is in the air at Boho village that makes its residents so proud?

Anne Marie McAleese discovers the people, places and stories that make Northern Ireland unique.

Bushmills Distillery have been in business for over 400 years, and for over a third of that, the Kane family from the village have been making the barrels that the whiskey is stored in. Chris Kane is the fourth generation of his family to cooper casks there, and the first person in Ireland to qualify as a cooper for more than 30 years.

Want to see something amazing? Next Tuesday at 7am and again at about 11:30pm, the moon will be bigger and brighter than it has been since 1948. It's a phenomenon called Supermoon - and one that IAA President Terry Moseley is looking forward to.

About a century ago Railway Street in Antrim led to a weaving company, a blacksmiths, red bricked houses and a population of nearly 2000 people. But when the great war began in 1914, 100's of men and boys, from the town enlisted and many were killed. Local man Alvin McCaig has been researching these stories for his new book Antrim in the Trenches.
