Fillfidh an tsraith iomráiteach Fleadh Cheoil ar ár scáileáin ar an 5ú Aibreán 2019 le 6 chlár a léireoidh scoth an cheoil traidisiúnta ag Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2018. Ós í seo an chéad uair ag an gcomórtas a bheith i nDroichead Átha, beidh an clár faoi stiúir arís ag John Creedon, ach ina theannta i mbliana beidh an ceoltóir is amhránaí cáiliúil Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh ó Ghaeltacht Chorca Dhuibhne.

 I gcaitheamh na straithe feicfimid Muireann i mbun ceoil ag cuid de na seisiúin sráide ceoil agus í tomtha go hiomlán i gcroí agus i spiorad na Fleadha. Ag an am céanna, casfaidh John leis an iliomad ceoltóirí, gur dlúthchairde iad ag an trath seo, agus bainfidh siad uile taitneamh agus tairbhe as a bhfuil le tairiscint go speisialta ag Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann.

 I mbliana beimid ag díriú ní hamháin ar an gceol atá le clos ar na sráideanna ach feicfimid an  stór luachmhar ceoil atá á sheinm ar fud an bhaile – sna gealaraíanna, na siopaí caifé, agus fiú sna hionaid campála. Tabharfaimnid ardán do scoth na gceoltóirí, idir laochra áitiúla agus pearsain atá aitheanta ar fud na cruinne, is iad ag seinm i measc na sluaite móra i nDroichead Átha. Tá bród na dtuismitheoirí le sonrú agus páistí is daoine fásta araon ag glacadh páirt sa Scoil Éigse agus sna comórtaisí éagsúla atá mar dhlúthchuid de Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann.

 Feicfimid carachtair spraoiúla ag cur gliondar ar chuairteoirí is ar mhuintir na háite is iad go léir ag baint taitneamh as na seisiúin ceoil gan choinne a tharlaíonn faoi ghrian bhuí an fhómhair, ag cur le háilleacht bhaile Dhroichead Átha cois Bóinne. I measc na n-aíonna sa tsraith seo beidh Stockton’s Wing, Muintir O’Connor, Zoe Conway, Hothouse Flowers, Emma Corbett, Muintir MhicGabhann, Bobby Gardiner agus an iliomad eile nach iad. Beidh gné idirnáisiúnta ann freisin le ceoltóirí ós na Stáit Aontaithe agus ón tSeapáin. Mar chlabhsúr spleodrach, beimid cúlstáitse don ullmhúchán is do na sceitimíní a bhaineann le Comórtas na mBannaí Céilí.

Guests include Stockton’s Wing, The O’Connor Family, Zoe Conway, Hothouse Flowers, Emma Corbett, The Mac Gabhann Family, Bobby Gardiner and many more. An international flavour is added as we are joined by musicians from the USA and Japan.
