An tseachtain seo uilig ar an gclár, beidh ceol ag Neansaí Ní Choisdealbha dúinn a taifeadadh ag coirmcheoil mhór in Óstán an Clayton i nGaillimh i mí Dheireadh Fómhair 2019 i gcuimhne ar Seán Henry, tábhairneoir agus fear a raibh an-suim aige sa cheol ó Phort Omna i gCo. na Gaillimhe, a cailleadh roinnt blianta ó shin.  Bhí cuid de shár-cheoltóirí na tíre páirteach sa choirm, a reáchtáladh ar mhaithe le Croí agus Cancer Care West, ina measc Paddy Clancy agus Jody Henry, Frankie Gavin, Joanie Madden agus Cherish the Ladies, Johnny O’Halloran, Marcus agus PJ Hernon, Matt Keane, Mary Bergin, Mick Conneely, Eileen O’Brien, Anne Conroy, Seán Gavin, John Faulkner, Tommy Keane, Charlie Piggott, Jacqueline McCarthy agus neart eile.  Reáchtáladh coirm mhór eile mar seo fiche bliain roimhe sin, nuair a d’éirigh Seán Henry tinn den chéad uair, agus beidh roinnt ceoil ón gcoirm sin ag Neansaí dúinn freisin. 

All this week, Neansaí Ní Choisdealbha brings us music recorded live at a gala concert in the Clayton Hotel in Galway last October in memory of Portumna publican Seán Henry, a man who had a great love for, and interest in, traditional music, who died in 2017.  Some of Ireland’s most talented traditional musicians graced the stage for the event, held in aid of Croí and Cancer Care West, including Paddy Clancy and Jody Henry, Frankie Gavin, Joanie Madden and Cherish the Ladies, Johnny O’Halloran, Marcus and PJ Hernon, Matt Keane, Mary Bergin, Mick Conneely, Eileen O’Brien, Anne Conroy, Seán Gavin, John Faulkner, Tommy Keane, Charlie Piggott, Jacqueline McCarthy and many more.  A similar event was held 20 years earlier, when Seán Henry first fell ill, and Neansaí will include some music from that event, as well as the 2019 concert, on the programme all this week.
