Explorer, writer and film-maker Tim Severin has died aged 80. The adventurer was renowned for his daring attempts to recreate the legendary voyages and journeys of colourful figures, such as Sinbad the Sailor, Robinson Crusoe and Genghis Khan...

And for Irish audiences, remembered for his epic expedition across the Atlantic in a replica of a 6th century boat in The Brendan Voyage.
The trip inspired the wonderful uilleann pipe compositions by Shaun Davey, which I had the pleasure of listening to live in the National Concert Hall at a concert attended by both Severin and Davey.
