D nall, an award winning broadcaster, is a member of the family music group Clann Mhic Ruair and has spent six years as producer of Barrsc alta'. He feels that the world of music has changed a lot since streaming services emerged. It is more important now than ever to find worthwhile musical treasures that are hidden and present them to the public. Isn't it a nice opportunity , says D nall, Listening to music and presenting it to the world, and there will be all sorts of things to hear on the programme from traditional and world music. I think it's possible and worth spinning the many strands of music together and creating a musical banquet or a music party.
P Sc al is a new programme to be aired every Friday from three to five with the well-known personality, M ire Treasa N Dhubhghaill at the helm. M ire Treasa has spent many years on television programmes and working on sport, but now she turns her hand to radio.
