On tonight’s programme, Fionn Davenport speaks to producer Eoin O’Kelly about his upcoming documentary ‘Bax, Ireland and 1916’ in which Aidan Thomson and guests explore the English composer Arnold Bax’s complex and unusual relationship with Ireland, Irishness and Patrick Pearse.

We also hear how architecture has linked Ireland to modernity over the past 100 years. Power stations, hospitals, airports and data storage hubs have marked the landscape but also the identity of the Irish State and finally we look at the fusion of Arts, Crafts and Technology through Maker Culture in Ireland.
