Programme one features jazz music duo Lars Jansson and Ronan Guilfoyle. They have been performing together for many years and in this programme they are collaborating on Lars own compositions.

Programme two  features a performance from Barry Guy and Izumi Kimura and interviews with Barry, Izumi and Maya Homburger. There is also an interview with Sunday at Noon representative Mary Barnacutt, and we hear from some of the audience present on the day of the performance

In programme three we hear a ground breaking and completely improvised performance by sound art practitioners, composers and musicians Danny McCarthy and Mick O’Shea (The Quiet Club) and  Ian Wilson and Cathal Roche (cRow). As well as the performance we have the opportunity to hear the musicians talk about the art of improvisation, unusual instruments and sound devices and their collective backgrounds. We also have audience anticipations and reactions to the performance. This concert performance was recorded by Darby O’Carroll.
