I stumbled across this today on the BBC iPlayer and thought it might be of interest to some

“Colum Sands presents the story of how, in 1947, the Irish Folklore Commission and the BBC established a scheme to seek out and record folk music and stories throughout Ireland.”
It is actually 27 minutes long, not 57 as stated.
