Autumn reading, Ulster History Circle, Jack Houston.
Tugann Siún Ní Dhuinn agus Eimear McGovern a moltaí do léitheoireacht an fhómhair do Chaoimhe Ní Chathail. Má amharcann tú suas ar thaobhanna na bhfoirgneamh agus tú ag spaisteoireacht thart, in amanna feicfidh tú ciorcail bheaga ghorma ag nochtadh scéalta faoi phearsana agus eachtraí staire ón am atá thart. Ach cad as a dtagann na ciorcail ghorma seo, agus cé go díreach atá i mbun iad a chur in airde? Tá gach aon eolas ag Eibhlín Mhic Aoidh, Leaschathaoirleach Chiorcal Staire Uladh le Dáithí Ó Muirí. Fosta, tá agallamh eisiach ag Caoimhe ‘Ceol’ Ní Chathail leis an fhidléir Jack Houston as Inis Eoghain faoina albam úr. Cluineann muid faoin fhidil a bhris sé agus é sna déaga, faoi na téamaí atá san albam; féiniúlacht, teanga agus cultúr, agus cumadóireacht úr uaidh.
Siún Ní Dhuinn and Eimear McGovern share their autumn reading recommendations with Caoimhe Ní Chathail. If you look up at the sides of buildings as you walk about, you will sometimes see little blue circles, telling you stories about historical figures and events from the past. But where do these blue circles come from and who decides where they go? Eibhlín Mhic Aoidh, Vice Chair of the Ulster History Circle, has all the answers with Dáithí Ó Muirí. Caoimhe ‘Ceol’ Ní Chathail chats to fiddler Jack Houston about his new album The Broken Fiddle and the themes of identity, language and culture that permeate his compositions.
