Tá BBC Gaeilge ag ullmhú do Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann atá ag teacht go Béal Feirste, le sraith úrnua curtha i láthair ag beirt de na ceoltóirí traidisiúnta is fearr i mBéal Feirste, Tuán Ó Ruanaidh agus Seán Óg Mac Corraidh. Cluineann muid faoina comórtais neamhghnách ag an Fhleadh agus sa stiúideo tá Ciarán Doolin, ó Chomhaltas Learphoill, i mbun seisiúin a bhfuil bonn uile-Éireann bainte aige san fheadaíl. Cloiseann muid é i mbun seisiún feadaíle sa stiúidió agus léimeann sé ar sheisiún ceoil sa bhreis le Seán Óg agus Tuán roimh dheireadh an chláir. Foghlaimíonn muid faoi thréimhse úr an ghiotáir mar uirlis i gceol traidisiúnta na hÉireann timpeall na bliana 1962 agus ag dul níos faide siar arís, cluineann muid faoi thionchar Bach agus Vivaldi ar thradcheol Thoirdhealbhaigh Uí Chearbhalláin, an cruitire dall cáiliúil.

Is léiriú de chuid BBC Gaeilge í seo, léirithe ag Caoimhe Ceol Ní Chathail.

BBC Gaeilge are gearing up for the All-Ireland Fleadh coming to Belfast with a brand-new series, Ceol Cois Cuain, with two of Belfast's finest traditional musicians, Tuán Ó Ruanaidh and Seán Óg Mac Corraidh. In this episode, we hear about the lesser known competitions at the Fleadh and Ciarán Doolin, from Liverpool Comhaltas, who has an All-Ireland medal for whistling, and who treats us to a tune in an exclusive session, also joining the presenters at the end of the programme for a session trio. We also learn of the integration of the guitar as an instrument for the first time into traditional Irish music around 1962 and going further back, we learn about the famous 17th century blind harper, Turlough O’Carolan, who mixed traditional Irish music with influence from Bach and Vivaldi.

Produced by Caoimhe Ceol Ní Chathail, this is a BBC Gaeilge production.
