by Near FM
O’Donoghue’s Pub, Merrion Row, Dublin, is celebrated as the birthplace of The Dubliners and a home for spontaneous traditional and folk sessions—but behind the music lies a deeper story.

The series, produced and presented by Tommy Fegan, traces the intertwining of traditional instrumental mu
