RTÉ will broadcast a Culture Night special programme in English and Irish live from Spanish Arch in the heart of Galway City on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player. The programme will feature a diverse range of live musical performances as well as performance highlights from some of the best Culture Night events across the country.
Coming to you from the heart of Galway City, the programme hosted by Carl Mullan and Doireann Ní Ghlacáin will feature a vibrant mix of musical performances live from the historic St. Nicholas’ Collegiate Church, alongside events taking place nationwide.
The line-up features the all-female trad group Biird, this year’s Culture Night Ambassadors, and a cultural reflection from President Higgins. Viewers can look forward to the Top 8 Streetdance Battle dance troupe showcasing electrifying dance exchanges at King John’s Castle (pictured), Limerick, while Anna Geary will be giving us flavour of Culture Night activities from Cork City.
Celebrating our architectural heritage for Culture Night, Amanda Bone takes us inside 18 Ormond Quay Upper, a beautifully restored 1840s Dublin merchant shop-house, brought back to life after a three-year conservation project by Dublin Civic Trust.
