We spend a day with our sponsors, Eurogold, at their annual golf day for staff and suppliers. As always, a massive “Thank You” to Damien Brickland for all his support over the years.

Craic by the Creek brings some of the biggest names in all forms of Irish music to Whitebottom Farm in Greater Manchester and we took our cameras along to share the experience with you all.

The Black Swan Pub in Luton rises up again, saved by a consortium of fourteen friends. Pubs all over the country are closing but we see how the Black Swan has bucked the trend with its Anglo Irish theme.

Woman’s International Day. We follow the Irish women of Manchester as they march through town, accompanied by traditional Irish music.

Cannon McNally has devoted sixty years to the priesthood. We spend a day with him celebrating with friends and parishioners at St Jude’s in Wigan.
