Offaly photograper to share connection with natural world with radio listeners

Offaly photographer Tina Claffey will feature on RTÉ lyric fm’s Where Life Sounds Greener segments, which introduces listeners to some extraordinary people who are driven by their love of nature.

Where Life Sounds Greener, which launches, today, Thursday, February 1, consists of greetings from creators across the country, who share their connection with the natural world and impart a piece of music that inspires this connection to listeners. The segments will be heard throughout the day on all programmes on lyric fm and will run for one week.

Tina’s photography takes us deep into the magical world of bogs and the life they contain. Lichens, ferns, bog cotton and minute creatures all become huge rich universes, full of colour and intricate texture. You can almost hear the frogs conversing in her photographs!

Where Life Sounds Greener coincides with St Brigid’s Day which marks the first day of spring. Each contributor values the power of music and the arts to motivate, encourage and inspire connection with the natural world at a time when we need it most. Other contributors include Cathy Davey who sings songs to her rescued horses and pigs, poet Vincent Woods who has created his own magical urban wood, and Sam Lee who sings with the nightingales (full list of contributors included below).

Where Life Sounds Greener launches today, Thursday, February 1 on RTÉ lyric fm with stories and music of love for the planet programmed all day throughout the week.
