BBC Radio Ulster - The Culture Cafe, Heaney in his Homeplace

Another chance to hear Marie-Louise Kerr at the Seamus Heaney Homeplace in Bellaghy.

In October 23 Marie-Louise Kerr presented a live outside broadcast from the Helicon Theatre at the Seamus Heaney Homeplace as part of Book Week NI. 

Writers Glenn Patterson, Brian McGilloway, Leontia Flynn, and arts programmer Cathy Brown discuss the man and the myth that was Seamus Heaney, pick their favourite poems of his, and Marie-Louise chooses some favourite conversations she had with him from the BBC archives. The show was first broadcast on the 22/10/23 as part of Book Week NI, a joint initiative between BBC and Libraries NI.
