The Indignant Muse is a ten part radio series adapted from the landmark book of the same name published by Lilliput Press. Join Terry Moylan as he brings listeners on a journey through an alternative musical history, pockmarked by battle and rebellion. This Near FM produced radio series follows the same chronological order as the book as we select some of the best song and verse from each period. We are delighted to have the revered An Góilín singers join us for this series to add colourful and authentic interpretations of the songs and poems featured.

The series will broadcast every Friday from January 18^th until March 22^nd at 6.30pm.

The Indignant Muse is supported by the Broadcasting authority of Ireland Sound and Vision scheme with the television licence fee.
