Hosted by Joanne Barry, the National Folk Theatre’s Repertory Director, Sounds Like Folk will trace folk voices, past and present. In the second episode of the series, Joanne meets musician, collaborator, broadcaster, and new Siamsa friend Ruth Smith. Ruth is a multi-instrumentalist and is a regular presenter on RTÉ Radio 1 where she shares her knowledge and passion for folk music every Sunday evening on her show Simply Folk. She tells Joanne about how this grá for folk tradition came to be and how her new role as Associate Artist with Siamsa Tíre will help to strengthen this relationship.
