A Walk on the Northside (Glasnevin Cemetery)
This informative and vibrant series shows that despite, or maybe even because of today’s fast pace of life and our increasingly insular society; it is a wonderful thing simply to go for a walk as either a leisure pursuit or in finding knowledge and cultural activities. We will meet the interesting characters that regularly walk in north dublin locatiojns such as St.Annes Park, the Monto, Glasnevin Cemetary and the Botanic Gardens. We will hear why walkers go to these locations and we will meet the guides who impart some of their deep knowledge of places like The Monto and Glasnevin Cemetery.
This series is produced by Zandra Ball, Noel McGuinness, Dave O’Connor and near90fm with funding from the BAI Sound and Vision Scheme.
