The Childhood Memories of Dermot Nesbitt, Crossgar, County Down - chatting with Chris Scott, Down about Down Podcast
Dermot Nesbitt from Crossgar, County Down is in conversation with Chris Scott, host of the Down about Down Podcast.

Now 75, he is no stranger to the microphone, and has been grilled by almost every TV and radio political interviewer imaginable.
