  • Fómhar/Autumn 2016 Drámaíocht/Drama
    Fómhar/Autumn 2016 Drámaíocht/Drama Ros na Rún 8.30pm Tuesdays & Thursdays from 6/9/16 (omnibus Sunday) The flagship drama series comes of age this season (the 21st) and is one of TG4’s best-loved programmes. It has engaging storylines that bring the leading characters through awkward situations and extreme jeopardy. There are many laughs along the way, the kindling of romance and consequent broken hearts for some but not all. The coming season will continue to delight, excite and engage audiences with cliffhanging drama, deception, deceit, death and of course romance and humour. In its unique natural style, Ros na Rún deals with the many social issues which face rural communities in today’s world and excels in the exposure of such matters with insightful writing and acting. Following on from the end of season showdown in the woods, audiences wait to see the fate of Bobbi Lee and Andy and will be intrigued to find out if he was left for dead. Tadhg, the series lynchpin is seriously threatened this season but will he get away with it, or must he spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder? The season opens with much treachery and drama, and viewers will once again be glued to their seats as the season unfolds and death hits the coastal village, depriving the community of one of its long-time residents. Wakes and weddings are part of rural life and a Christmas wedding could be on the cards bringing the village some much needed romance and happiness. With tales of affairs, theft, controversial pregnancies, break-ins and break-ups viewers will have plenty to guess at and gossip about every Tuesday and Thursday night at 8.30pm on TG4 with the omnibus on Sundays at 10.30pm.

  • Michael Mcgoldrick: Arc
    MICHAEL MCGOLDRICK: ARC OUT APRIL 6TH ON VERTICAL RECORDS ( VERTCD111 ) STUNNING FIFTH SOLO ALBUM FROM TOP CELTIC MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST (CAPERCAILLIE, MARK KNOPFLER, TRANSATLANTIC SESSIONS, USHER’S ISLAND, ZAKIR HUSSEIN) CO-PRODUCED BY DONALD SHAW “Michael is in a class of his own - it’s always a joy to share a stage or a studio (or a beer) with him” (Mark KnopflEr ) “One of the greatest flute players in the world” (BBC Music) “McGoldrick is a rare pearl. He can pull off the impossible” (Ouest-France) Don’t be deceived by MichaEl McGoldrick’s scant solo output: instead, be excited - be very excited - at the arrival of his new album, Arc: his first since 2010, and only his fifth in 22 years. Such unhurried intervals make any McGoldrick release an auspicious event, with each both cementing and extending the flautist, whistle player, uilleann piper and composer’s repute as one of today’s towering instrumental talents. His solo work’s slow distillation is directly symbiotic with McGoldrick’s prolifically freewheeling collaborative career, across multiple genres, impelled by a seemingly boundless appetite for - and delight in – the music-making he’s pursued since childhood. Listing all the notable bands, projects and recordings his playing has graced would take up much of this document. Heavily edited highlights include co-founding both Lúnasa and Flook; numerous guest appearances with Afro-Celt Sound SystEm, Kate Rusby and JuliE Fowlis; a linchpin role in legendary percussionist Zakir Hussain’s globe- trotting Pulse of the World project, and eight years’ touring and recording with Mark KnopflEr. Alongside his 21- year membership of Scotland’s iconic CapercailliE, and his annual turn in The Transatlantic Sessions, McGoldrick also joins Andy IrvinE, Dónal Lunny, Paddy Glackin and John DoylE in new Irish supergroup UshEr’s Island.
