Cushendall, Armagh and Fermanagh

Anne Marie McAleese with the people, places and stories that make Northern Ireland unique, including getting creative in Cushendall, and we remember Marie McStay.

It's time to get creative in Cushendall, as Big Telly open a shop in the village to encourage people in the area to get involved in creative arts - including farmers who may be feeling the effects of isolation.

We catch up with the Ballymoney man who, with a little help from the show, was reunited with his dad's old motorcycle. And we remember Marie McStay, a long-time contributor and friend of the show, through some of her work over the years and some of the people who came to know her.
