Cosáin Cheoil, Friday 28th September at 8.30pm on RTE1
Date Posted: September 24, 2018
A new documentary series called Cosáin Cheoil (Musical Paths) demonstrates the interaction between modern and contemporary musical styles in Irish and Scottish traditional music over the past half a century.
Cosáin Cheoil is an Irish/Scottish co-production between Dearcán Media, Magamedia (Ireland) and MacTV (Scotland) with funding by Northern Ireland Screen’s Irish Language Broadcast Fund, RTE and MG ALBA.
Cosáin Cheoil features contributions from musical giants like Donal Lunny, Phil Cunningham and Máirtín O’Connor, as well as interviews with many other Irish and Scottish performers, broadcasters and academics, alongside a comprehensive collection of illustrative archive material.
Younger musicians like Aidan O’ Rourke, Eoghan Neff and Úna Monaghan, and groups like Talisk and Moxie are now at the forefront of change and innovation – it begs the question, where will these musical paths take us to in the future?
Cosáin Cheoil will broadcast weekly for 6 weeks, with the first episode broadcasting on Friday 28th September at 8.30pm on RTE1.
Cosáin Cheoil, Dé hAoine 28ú Meán Fómhair ag 8.30i.n. ar RTÉ 1.
