— Dictionary of Traditional Irish Music
Hup captures the very best of our music in many of the musical hotbeds around the country and over the course of 13 programmes treats us to intimate performances by masters young and old. This series is unlike any traditional music series to date. Without a presenter, the music and songs are introduced by performers along the way. Each episode is framed against a summer school or festival and throughout the series we get a strong flavour of the festival, but also a musical portrait of the area.
