Féile le Chéile

About

Bígí linn ón 21ú-24ú de mhí Mheán Fómhair agus muid ag déanamh ceiliúrtha mhóir ar an cheol thraidisiúnta i nDoire. Is iomaí imeacht a bheas idir lámha againn mar chuid den cheiliúradh, ceolchoirm, ceardlanna agus imeachtaí pobail san áireamh. Beidh rud éigin ann do gach duine, cibé caighdeán ceoil atá agatsa! Bain úsáid as an nasc thíos chun spléachadh a thabhairt ar na himeachtaí iontacha a bheas i ndán dúinn.

Cuirfidh an fhéile bhríomhar seo críoch leis an tSamhradh. Beidh ceoltóirí mór le rá, idir óg agus aosta, inár dteannta agus beidh neart deiseanna ann chun bheith ag foghlaim ó laochra mór ár linne chomh maith!

Beidh a leithid Flook, Lí Bán agus Áirc Damhsa linn ar ardán na Cultúrlainne i rith an fhéile. Ar a bharr sin, beidh seisiún ceoil speisialta ar siúl ar Oíche Chultúir, faoi stiúir sár-cheoltóirí na háite.

Mhínigh Siubhán Nic Amhlaoibh, Stiúrthóir Cultúrlainne Uí Chanáin, fáth chun an fhéile seo a chur ar siúl.

"Ciallaíonn "Féile le Chéile" a Festival Together i nGaeilge, agus beidh deireadh seachtaine den scóth láncheol, teanga agus cultúr againn, ag ceiliúradh domhán an cheoil i nDoire agus an Iarthuaisceart. Tá an bhliain seo spéisialta dúinn, mar tá muid 50 bhliain ó búnú Comhaltas i nDoire, agus 10 mbliana ar aghaidh ó tháinig Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann go Doire. Le linn an deireadh seachtaine, beidh eagsúlacht ceoltóirí cumasacha, a bhfuil fonn orthu camchuairt ceoil a thabhairt dúinn. Beidh cuimhne againn fosta ar daoine mór le rá ó thaobh ceol traidisiúnta i nDoire de, a d'fhág oidhreacht laidir ina ndiaidh agus iad ar slí na fírinne."

Running from the 21st of September to Sunday the 24th, Cultúrlann Uí Chanáin is packing the long weekend to the brim with concerts, workshops, and community-led events for all. Whether you're a calloused piper or casual punter, be sure to check out their dynamic programme and find out what makes our island's world-renowned musical heritage so special.
Tying together a grassroots celebration of our city's many generations of traditional music pioneers, with opportunities to experience the crème de la crème of current players (and learn from some of the best too), Féile le Chéile presents a unique conclusion to a summer of festivals.

As a snapshot: A star-studded line up of Flook, Lí Ban, and Áirc Damhsa will take centre stage in the Cultúrlann's intimate city-centre venue on Great James Street for concerts throughout the festival. An open session will be led by top-class musicians to keep their Cóisir Tí (House Party) pumping throughout Culture Night. Workshops will be available for learners.

Siubhán Nic Amhlaoibh, Director of Cultúrlann Uí Chanáin, explains the motivation for holding this expansive and immersive festival at this time.

"Féile le Chéile, meaning "A Festival Together" in Irish, will be a fantastic weekend of music, language and culture which celebrates the vibrant traditional music scene in Derry and the North West. This year is particularly special as it marks 50 years since the establishment of Comhaltas in Derry, and 10 years since Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann was held in Derry. Through the weekend, we'll bring a plethora of talented musicians, who are keen to bring us on a journey through vibrant musical landscapes, to our stage in Cultúrlann Uí Chanáin, and we'll also remember the giants of traditional music in Derry who have left a strong legacy of talented young musicians in their wake."
