Delve is a deep, detailed look at the landscape and culture of specific locations. By shining a light on the history and oral traditions (folk song, oral history, folklore and tale) of a place it seeks to show the breadth of human experience there. Talking to writers, storytellers, musicians, researchers, historians and local interest groups it weaves across the ages and disciplines, pulling in poetry and literature to explore both the past and present. "The history of a nation is not in parliaments and battlefields but in what the people say to each other on fairdays and high days, and in how they farm, and quarrel and go on pilgrimage."W. B Yeats
