Created by Hannah Donelon with original music composed and arranged by Michael McGoldrick.​

​This immersive 8-part audio series revolves around stories & scenes from the Irish diaspora; we focus on the everyday experience of Irish migration from the 1940s-1970s and champion the legacy it has in Manchester.​​​​

Join us for some immersive storytelling that may ignite your own memory or bring you somewhere completely new. There’ll not only be laughter and tears but inspiration, discovery, and magic too.​

Through heartwarming memories of childhood in rural Ireland, we learn about life before emigration. From neighbours gathering in to storytell around the open-fire to gazing up at a sky covered in millions of stars, we’re transported back in time. We also learn how working on the land from a young age was a normal part of daily life and how, for most, education had to be sacrificed in order to provide financial assistance to the family.
