Bonn Óir Seán Ó Riada 2015
Dé hAoine 5 Feabhra beidh fliúiteadóirí agus ceoltóirí ar an bhfeadóg stáin san iomaíocht sa chraobh do Bhonn Óir Seán Ó Riada 2015, a bheidh á craoladh beo againn anseo ar RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta.
Tá ionadaíocht láidir ó Chúige Mumhan sa Chraobh i mbliana, le ceathrar as Corcaigh, beirt as Co. an Chláir, duine as Ciarraí agus duine as Tiobraid Árann. Is í Eimhear Flannery as Séipéal na Carraige i gCorcaigh an ceoltóir is óige sa chraobh, níl sí ach 11 bliain d’aois, agus is é Seán Gavin an duine a chaithfidh an t-aistear is faide a chur dó, an bealach uilig as Chicago Mheiriceá.
Is iad na ceoltóirí Mary Bergin, Patsy Hanly agus Mick O’Connor a bheidh ag moltóireacht i mbliana, agus beidh an chraobh le cloisteáil beo ó 7 pm Dé hAoine 5 Feabhra. Beidh sé le feiceáil beo ar líne freisin www.cuireadhchunceoil.ie
I mbliana den chéad uair beidh ócáid nua, Comhdháil na gCeoltóirí, ar siúl freisin mar chuid d’imeachtaí an deireadh seachtaine in Óstán Pháirc Bhaile an Róistigh i gCorcaigh. Breis eolais anseo.
