Peter Laban Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Mná an Ceoil is a series of programs looking at the women in Irish traditional music. The first two programs in the series looked at harpers and Whistle/fluteplayers. Both a great watch with some great music. The one tonight (with repeat later in the week) deals with the concertina playing women of Ireland. Watch live or archives on the TG4 player : here As far as I know the program is accessible outside Ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SusanW Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I couldn't get it to play in English, or with subtitles, and sadly my Irish is not very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereward Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I have no Irish either but I found it was nevertheless interesting because of the music and much was actually in English too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-Jay Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Just to add that there is English subtitles. Whilst the video is playing, if you move the mouse cursor to the bottom of the video, on the right hand side you will see an option to turn on subtitles when you press the little CC box.

Thanks, Jay-Jay. I tried, but no luck...maybe my system is too antiquated. I did enjoy the music very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceemonster Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 it won't play for me. I hit the "play" function, and nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Laban Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) it won't play for me. I hit the "play" function, and nothing. I just tried it again and it seems a bit temperamental, in Firefox it only started only at third attempt, it went fine in Edge and Vivaldi at second go. Best try again, it's worth it. G'luck Direct link You may want to make sure all java scripts are turned on, possibly adblockers turned off (RTE won't play anymore with adblock, grrr) Edited May 6, 2016 by Peter Laban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceemonster Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Will try again, thanks. BTW, Eoin O'Neill's April 15 Clare FM "West Wind" features guest playing by the Queally sisters of Kilmaley--Aoibheann playing some lovely concertina, Pamela on fiddle . . . .

She always had nice music, on concertina, flute, whistle and pipes. She did very well in the u18 slow air on the pipes in the All Ireland. Her heart was more with the concertina though.
