Waterford duo to perform on TG4 series in search for Ireland's most talented family

Top entertainment show Réalta agus Gaolta has returned to TG4 in search of Ireland's most talented family and Waterford duo Alan Power and John Paul Brazil believe they have what it takes.

From the Gallagher brothers and Cyrus duo to our own Corrs sisters, the show believes there is nothing quite as captivating as that "special synergy of music and blood." 

Each week six families from across the country will take on the challenge of entertaining the nation as they go head-to-head in the hope of securing one of the coveted spots in this year’s final.

The Waterford nephew and uncle duo from Waterford City perform in front of the judges in the show's sixth episode on Sunday, March 16.

Judging the families are champion sean-nós singer Irial Ó Ceallaigh and award-winning broadcaster Sinéad Ní Uallacháin. Each week they’ll be joined by a special guest judge from the world of showbiz.

From Hothouse Flowers co-founder Fiachna Ó Braonáin to maestro fiddle musician Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh and singer and musician Piaras Ó Lorcáin, many of them understand the joy and challenge of performing with their families.

They may not all see eye to eye but host Síomha Ní Ruairc will be on hand to keep them in check. This week’s guest judge is a multi-talented singer and musician, who’s as accustomed to farming as he is the falsetto, from County Armagh, Piaras Ó Lorcáin. 

Who will come out on top? Will we find the next Clannad? It’s all up for grabs Sunday nights at 8.30pm on TG4.
