Toss the Bobbin

Norma Owens (L) and Jackie Magnin (R), who both feature in the documentary, with their own examples of Headford lace.

My one-hour documentary on Headford lace was picked up by editor Elizabeth Laragy at RTÉ Radio 1, who asked me to adapt it for a 30-min slot in the Christmas schedule.

This re-telling is called 'Toss the Bobbin' after The Whileaways track, which features in the programme alongside music from Drumadore and Mairéad Berrill / Headford Music Works.

Listen to the programme on the RTÉ Radio 1 website.

It’s a big deal to be listed in the legendary Christmas RTÉ Guide, so we proudly shared the clipping!
