    Near FM have produced a three part documentary on Frank Harte, the Frank Harte Festival & An Góilín Traditional singing club. The series features interviews with friends & family of Frank Harte as well as capturing the intimate & unique Frank Harte Festival in September 2012.

    Frank had a keen knowledge and sense of Irish history and in this series we revisit Frank giving a talk in Coolock library in 1998 to celebrate the 1798 rebellion. Songs he sang such as Father Murphy, Dunlavin Green & Henry Munroe were born out of this period.
