Bernie Pháid, Cormac agus Éamonn de Barra agus Nada Ní Chuirrín

Tagann an ceathrar ceoltóirí aitheanta seo le chéile chun saibhreas an traidisiúin a thabhairt chun beatha. Is as Corca Dhuibhne don amhránaí Bernie Pháid, a bhfuil binneas leochaileach sa tslí ina dtugann sí uaithi na hamhráin. Tógadh i dtraidisiún na n-amhrán í, rud a thagann trasna ina cumas nádúrtha scéalaíochta.

Síolraíonn na deartháireacha Cormac agus Éamonn de Barra ó cheann de na tithe is ceolmhaire i mBaile Átha Cliath, áit a bhfuil traidisiún fada ceoil den scoth ag a dteaghlach. Tá clú agus cáil ar an mbeirt acu as a gcuid máistreachta ar uirlisí ceoil agus a gcumas an lucht éisteachta a mhealladh. Cruitire cumasach is ea Cormac a thugann casadh nuálaíoch don traidisiún lena chláirseoireacht bhríomhar, fhuinniúil. Is duine de mhór-cheoltóirí na tíre ar an bhfeadóg mhór agus ar an méarchlár é Éamonn, a bhfuil ard-scileanna cumadóireachta aige agus cur i láthair mealltach aige.

Rinceoir sean-nóis agus ceoltóir is ea Nada Ní Churrín a bhfuil clú agus cáil uirthi. I 2018, bhuaigh sí Corn TG4, an comórtas rince sinsearach ar an sean-nós ag Oireachtas na Samhna. Ina theannta sin, tá teidil Uile-Éireann buaite ag Nada do cheol traidisiúnta na hÉireann agus rince ar an sean-nós ag Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann.

Tá an ceathrar seo faoi anáil cheoil a mhuintire, le suim faoi leith sa dúchas a síneadh chucu. Cruthaíonn siad fuaim beomhar atá fréamhaithe sa traidisiún, a mheallann agus a spreagann an lucht éisteachta. Beidh oíche den scoth ann idir cheol, amhráin agus rince.
