Díríonn clár na seachtaine seo ar mhuintir Chill Mhuirbhigh in Árainn, baile dúchais Bhairbre Quinn a rinne na taifeadtaí a chloistear sa tsraith seo. Ina measc cloisfear Marian Gill agus a máthair Katie, agus déarfaidh comharsa béal dorais leo, Pat Pheaidí Ó hIarnáin, an t-amhrán macarónach ‘The Foolish Rake’. Cloisfear freisin ó bhean strainséartha éigin ar cuairt, ‘Cruacha Glasa na hÉireann’, agus déarfaidh Maitiú Ó Maoláin – Matt Pheaits Rua – a amhrán féin, ‘Damhscoil Eoghanachta’. Is í Deirdre Ní Chonghaile a chuireann an tsraith seo i láthair, atá bunaithe ar thaifid a rinne aintín léi, Bairbre Quinn, in Árainn agus i gConamara sna seascaidí agus sna seachtóidí.
This week’s programme is focused on the community of Cill Mhuirbhigh in Inis Mór, the home place of Bairbre Quinn, who made the recordings we hear in this series. We’ll hear Marian Gill and her mother Katie, and their neighbour Pat Pheaidí Ó hIarnáin sing the macaronic song ‘The Foolish rake’. We’ll also hear a visitor to the island singing ‘Cruacha Glasa na hÉireann’ and Maitiú Ó Maoláin will sing a song he wrote himself, ‘Damhscoil Eoghanachta’. Deirdre Ní Chonghaile presents this series, which is based on historic recordings made by her aunt Bairbre Quinn in Aran and Conamara in the sixties and seventies.
