U2, Body Snatching and the Irish Way of Death

Postcards From Nowhere with Utsav Mamoria

Three of the most iconic Irish bands walk into a bar - The Dubliners, The Chieftains and U2. They grab a few drinks, clear their throats and then proceed to play. The bar owner turns them down, and says that there will be no music at his bar. They leave. What? Who in their right mind would turn such a musical evening down? This week, in the fourth episode of the series, Ireland Untravelled, we delve into the fascinating relationship the Irish people have with death. Tune in, and discover how Irish people deal with death, with bizzare sounding rituals and what is their contribution the art and science of medicine.
