RTÉ MUSIC: The most prestigious sean-nós competition of the year, presented by Máirtín Tom Sheáinín from the Oireachtas festival in Killarney.

This evening Máirtín Tom Sheáinín will present Corn Uí Riada live from the Oireachtas festival in Killarney. This is the most prestigious sean-nós singing competition of the year, and the highlight of the festival. Entry rules dictate that only the best of the best can enter the contest, and the list of previous winners reads like a who’s who of sean-nós, and includes tonight’s presenter Máirtín Tom Sheáinín, who won in 1983 and 1988.

Is é seo buaicphointe an Oireachtais, an príomhchomórtas amhránaíochta ar an sean-nós, á chur i láthair beo as Cill Airne ag Máirtín Tom Sheáinín. Is liosta le háireamh buaiteoirí an chomórtais seo, agus orthu sin tá fear an tí na hoíche anocht Máirtín Tom Sheáinín, a thug leis an Corn i 1983 agus 1988.
