Aonghas MacNeacail - excerpt from The Great Snowbattle

BBC Radio 4 - Four Seasons, Aonghas MacNeacail - excerpt from The Great Snowbattle

Gaelic poet Aonghas MacNeacail reads an excerpt from his epic poem The Great Snowbattle.

Aonghas MacNeacail has been a leading voice in Gaelic poetry for decades. As part of our celebration of the Winter solstice, he reads in both Gaelic and English, an excerpt from his epic poem about elemental conflict; the monstrous power of the blizzard, the swirling whiteness, from which emerges memories, visions, premonitions and hopes.

Producer: Sarah Addezio.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
