------------------------------------------
Bernard Canavan is an artist and teacher of history at the Irish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith, West London. His paintings focus on the experiences of people who left Ireland in the 1950s and 60s to come to Britain in order to make a living. It's a world he knows well, as he himself came to London as a migrant in 1959. In this interview for Radio 1812 he talks to Richard Ellis about the experiences and influence of Irish migrants at the time, about his paintings and about his exhibition 'The Faithful Departed' at the Irish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith.
