\nA visual and visceral feast for the senses awaits fans of traditional and folk music as the best of the annual Cork Folk Festival is transposed to our screens in a new six-part series captured in some of Cork\u2019s most iconic venues. Produced by Aniar TV, \u2018Cork Folk Festival\u2019 portrays both the intimacy and immediacy of traditional and folk music in all its forms. Presented by Doireann N\u00ed Ghlac\u00e1in.<\/p>\n

The 41st Cork Folk Festival will run from 1st \u2013 4th October 2020. One of Ireland\u2019s most exciting traditional music groups, The Bonny Men and Cork\u2019s own distinguished songwriter, John Spillane, who will perform with Dingle songstress Pauline Scanlon, are among the stars invited to take part in the one-off virtual concerts \u2014 being held without audiences \u2014 on 2nd and 3rd October. These will be streamed live on TG4\u2019s Facebook page, Cork Folk Festival Facebook as well as TG4’s Trad YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

2019 marked the 40th annual Cork Folk Festival where the very best of traditional and folk was played in both intimate and large-scale settings. Iconic venues such as The Cork Opera House saw live performances before audiences of 800 plus people. Elsewhere venues including St Luke\u2019s, Kino and The Cork School of Music provide an essential backdrop to intimate one-on-one performances and interviews. The pulsating rhythm of this unique festival, which captivated the public through a week of memorable performance in the heart of Cork City Centre during their 40th year celebrations in 2019, is present throughout this series. This music series is predominantly performance based as Doireann Ni\u0301 Ghlaca\u0301in \u2013 herself a renowned fiddle player and singer steeped in the musical tradition of the \u00d3 Riada and Glackin families \u2013 brings both a highly informed, yet warm familiarity to proceedings as our host. <\/p>\n

Through bilingual interviews with the musicians themselves – in some truly unique spaces – this series reveals the rare passion vital to Ireland\u2019s cultural core. In the series we see folk and trad legends and rising stars shine brightly in equal measure. From the passionate singing and playing of luminaries such as Iarla \u00d3 Lion\u00e1ird and Steve Cooney, D\u00f3nal Lunny & Zoe Conway to English folk star Eliza Carthy, young homegrown stars such as guitar wizard Shane Hennessy and Ye Vagabonds, this series blends the new and the old in a musical melting pot. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to have worked with the Cork Festival to showcase some of Ireland\u2019s folk and traditional music\u2019s\u2019 best performers and up and coming new talent,\u201d<\/em> Niamh N\u00ed Bhaoill Creative Director of Aniar TV. \u201cNow more than ever we need sustenance for the soul and the performances at Cork Folk Festival gives that in spades.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Directed by Maurice Linnane and produced by Ciar\u00e1n \u00d3 Maonaigh, \u2018Cork Folk Festival\u2019 will be screened on TG4 beginning on October 4th at 9.30pm
