A unique collaboration - Trinity Roots and four top Irish musicians - is touring New Zealand with music described as "truly world music".

The project, Motu: Oileáin (which means "islands" in Te Reo and Irish), started with a visit by Pauline Scanlon, Alan Doherty, Tola Custy and Gerry Paul to New Zealand last November.

The quartet, and Trinity Roots' Warren Maxwell and Rio Hemopo, visited Radio New Zealand in Wellington to explain - and play - some of their songs.
