RED SHOE PRODUCTIONS

The Fleadh Cheoil series showcases the best of Irish traditional music from the annual Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann. This series captures the craic, colour and ceol of Ireland’s biggest traditional music festival! 

Joining the Fleadh crew in our latest series for the first time is RTÉ heavyweight Dáithí Ó Sé, expertly shown the ropes by Fleadh stalwart, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh. Across six episodes we bring viewers on a musical journey, enjoying the street sessions and getting fully immersed in what Fleadh Cheoil is all about.
 

The series also showcases locally and internationally renowned top-class musicians, as they play amidst thronging crowds. The pride of doting parents is apparent, as children and adults take part in Scoil Éigse, and the many other competitions that are an integral part of Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann. 

Visitors and residents alike are joined by colourful characters enjoying spontaneous music sessions amidst the glorious August sunshine. Guests have included Seán Keane with Fergus Feely & Shane McGowan, Tom Doorley, Iarla Ó Lionáird with Cormac McCarthy and Matthew Berrill, Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh and Martin Hayes with David Power.
