Colum Arbuckle's guests are Bill Jeffreys and Tom Mackin.

Colum Arbuckle shares the life stories, experiences and ambitions of older people in Northern Ireland. Tonight, Colum's guests are Bill Jeffreys and Tom Mackin.

Colum Arbuckle's guests are Bill Jeffreys and Tom Mackin.

Bill is originally from Belfast, was educated in Dublin and his smattering of the Irish language, not to mention the Orange Sash up his jumper, would come in very useful when his line of work took him all over Belfast during the height of the Troubles.

Tom is also a Belfast man and spent 22 years in the army. When he was back in civilian life and raising his family, tragedy struck and the entire course of his life was changed forever.

Plus, musicians in the North West are Rellin' In The Years, Hurricane Debbi was a force to be reckoned with in 1961, and how Rudolph almost didn't make it!
