O Son da Terra. My responsibilities were to find and book Irish and United Kingdom folk groups, negociating their cache, raising sponsorship, and arranging details of their visit. I was also involved in researching and realising short documentary videos recording the region’s folk culture, including wooden fishing-boat building techniques, basket weaving, bagpipe making and music and dance of the area. The event led to a cultural exchange between a galician folk group and a cornish group a year later.

Milladoiro composed the music which was accompanied by spectacular slide projections on the rock walls.
