Sa ceathrú clár sa tsraith seo inniu, bunaithe ar na taifid a rinne Bairbre Quinn in Árainn agus i gConamara, cloisfimidamhráin ó uncail Bhairbre, Bobby Gill as Cill Rónáin, a bhean Katie, agus a n-iníon Marian.  Cloisfimid freisin gasúir scoile as scoil gan ainm i gConamara – i Leitir Mealláin nó i Rosmuc b’fhéidir.  Is i ndeireadh na gcaogaidí nó go luath sna seascaidí a rinneadh na taifeadtaí seo.  Is í Deirdre Ní Chonghaile a chuirfidh an clár i láthair.

Today, in the fourth programme in this series which shines a light on historic recordings made by Bairbre Quinn in the Aran Islands and Connemara, we’ll hear songs from Bairbre’s uncle, Bobby Gill, as well as his wife Katie, and their daughter Marian.  We’ll also hear recordings of schoolchildren from an unnamed school in Connemara, probably in Leitir Mealláin or Rosmuc.  These recordings were made at the end of the fifties and early sixties. Deirdre Ní Chonghaile presents the series.
