Travelling Folk in Donegal

A very special edition of Travelling Folk exploring the music and culture of our Celtic cousins across the Irish Sea in Donegal.

Nestled in the north-west corner of the country, Donegal is the most northerly county on the Emerald Isle - characterised by breath-taking landscape, peaceful villages, secluded beaches and a deeply-embedded Irish culture. The Travelling Folk team had the pleasure of visiting Donegal and immersing themselves in the music and culture, which is so closely linked to our own in many ways.
