She is considered an authority on the music and song traditions of Ulster and in particular of her native Oriel region. In this documentary we trace her steps through the ancient kingdom of Oriel and we watch as she warmly welcomes singers and musicians such as Steve Cooney, Ríoghnach Connolly, Sylvia Crawford & Darren Magee, Zoe Conway & John McIntyre to her beautiful home in the foothills of South Armagh.
