Like most towns in Ireland, Westport boasts some true Irish characters and none more fascinating than Richard White - lover of poetry, nature, the wonders of the sky, the Lord above and life in general. Somewhat of a local celebrity - and modestly so - Richard's command of the English language is original, wise, refreshing and inspiring, while his melodious voice and thick Mayo brogue make him a regular hit on the airwaves.
