The Rhythm of the Weavers
Scottish songstress and musician, Eddi Reader is as fascinated with the melodic rhythms of this century-old loom at the Irish Linen Museum in Lisburn as she is with the world and work of The Weaver Poets 鈥� Ulster鈥檚 own Bards who were linen workers and weavers by day and wrote poetry in their own local tongue by night.
Eddi meets weaving expert, Alison from the linen museum, and the two discuss the rhythmic sounds of the loom and how those sounds captivated and inspired The Weaver Poets in composing their meter and verse.
