A new series of An Ríl Deal is back on TG4 screens this Easter Sunday at 8.30pm with fantastic performances of traditional dance over 8 episodes.

Fantastic performers of all traditional dance styles, from Step dancers Sean-Nós dancers to Set dancers, and even a fusion of all styles, will entertain viewers.
