Timmy and Eoin on the small screen as Newmarket gets some welcome RTÉ exposure

Newmarket was well represented on Sunday evening's TV schedule last weekend. After the 6pm news, many of you may have tuned into John Creedon's excellent show, Atlas of Ireland, to see our own Timmy O'Connor and Eoin 'Stan' O'Sullivan appear on our screens. The show, in its second series, takes a tour around Ireland exploring towns and places and looking into the meaning of their names. Sliabh Luachra was under analysis in the most recent episode, and Eoin took on the task of explaining the boundaries of an area that is more cultural than geographical. Timmy played a few tunes and spoke to John about the local music and how he came to it. Some of the area's finest musicians spoke about their passion for the Sliabh Luachra music style, including Scartaglin's Emma O'Leary, accordian player Bryan O'Leary, Maura O'Connor and our own Stan. If you missed out on the show, you can catch it on the RTÉ Player.

Paul Whitington's TV picks of the week: Creedon's Atlas of Ireland

Sunday, RTÉ1, 6.30pm In a time where going to Tesco has come to seem like an exotic voyage, we’re all desperate for any kind of journey — even a vicarious one. Enter John Creedon, whose recent series of TV travelogues around Ireland have been appealingly laid-back, and intimate. This Sunday, he returns with a second season of his Atlas of Ireland, in which he visits iconic towns and areas across the country and uncovers their deep histories, and the meanings of their names. He begins tonight’s show by talking to columnist Fintan O’Toole and historian Diarmaid Ferriter about the controversial circumstances in which the Irish State was named. He’s on the road to his native Co Cork then, where Father Ted actor Ardal O’Hanlon joins him at the site of Ballinspittle’s moving statue, which they both recall coming to see for themselves back in 1985, in a vastly different Ireland.
