Tipperary trad musicians display the Premier County's playing style on TG4 programme

TG4's traditional musical series, 'Ceolaireacht' (Musical Wanderings), with presenter Doireann Ní Ghlacáin comes from North Tipperary this week.

Armed with her fiddle and bicycle, Doireann embarks on another musical journey, exploring lesser-known traditional musical strongholds across Ireland and beyond. While Sliabh Luachra, Clare, and Donegal are famous for their recognizable regional styles, Doireann is determined to uncover emerging uncelebrated and styles in other parts of the country, such as north Tipperary, Cork city, north Mayo, and even London.

The series reflects the current renaissance of traditional Irish music, experiencing a flourishing resurgence throughout the country and beyond. Particularly noteworthy is the growing interest and innovation among the younger generation. Traditional music, once confined to small pockets, is now thriving and captivating a whole new audience.

On Sunday, February 4, Doireann will be in north Tipperary where she explores the area's regional style with music from Gerry "Banjo" O'Connor & family, the McGraths, Costellos, Laoise Ní Chinnéide, Jim Ryan and Cáith Ní Riain, Mairéad O'Brien and more.

Ceolaireacht will air on  TG4 and at 9.30m this Sunday, February 4.
