Phort Láirge.

Craolfar na scannáin chríochnaithe ar na meáin shóisialta uilig a bhaineann le Gradam Ceoil 2018. Beidh na scannáin le feiceáil, freisin, ar chainéil mheáin shóisialta Scáileán Thuaisceart Éireann agus na nGradam Ceoil le linn dheireadh seachtaine Ghradam Ceoil TG4 agus taispeánfar iad i mBéal Feirste roimh an ócáid bheo féin.
Ní íocfar na léiritheoirí a roghnófar as ucht na léiriúcháin seo a dhéanamh ach is deis fíorluachmhar é píosa scannánaíochta a chruthú a fheicfidh lucht féachana ollmhór ar líne.
