BLAS AG OLLSCOIL NA RÍONA
Dé hAoine 16ú Márta, mar chuid de Sheachtain
na Gaeilge 2007 ar BLAS, craoladh an clár beo ó Aontas
na Mac Léinn ag Ollscoil na Ríona Bhéal Feirste,
áit a raibh Kíla agus Liam Ó Maonlaí
ar tí dul ar an ardán sa Halla Mandela. Clár
uair a chloig a bhí ann á chur i láthair ag
Karen Kirby agus chuala muid ceol beo ó Kíla agus
Liam chomh maith le craic agus comhrá le go leor aíonna
spesialta. Muna raibh an deis agat é a chluinstean ag an
am, tá an dara seans agat thíos...
On Friday 16th March, as part of Irish Language Week 2007 on BLAS,
the programme came live from the newly-revamped Students Union at
Queen's University Belfast as Kíla and Liam Ó Maonlaí
prepared to go on stage at the Mandela Hall. Karen Kirby presented
the hour-long BLAS special and we heard live music from Kíla
and Liam Ó Maonlaí as well as craic and conversation
with lots of special guests. If you missed the programme first time
round, you can hear the musical highlights below….

LIAM Ó MAONLAÍ
 Is
é Liam Ó Maonlaí an príomhamhránaí
le Hothouse Flowers agus ar a bharr sin tá albam aonair eisithe
aige le déanaí, "Rian" ina chanann sé
amhráin ar an tsean-nós. Is beag amhránaí
atá chomh ábalta aistriú ó stíl
go stíl chomh nádurtha agus chomh héasca is
atá Liam! Anseo, canann Liam amhrán a chum Afel Boukoum
ó Mali mar gheall ar Ali Farka Toure, agus ceann eile as
Connemara darbh ainm "Sadhbh Ní Bhruinnealadh."
Liam Ó Maonlaí is the lead singer with the Hothouse
Flowers and on top of that he has released a solo album "Rian"
in which he sings in Irish in the "sean-nós" or
"old style." Few singers can switch from genre to genre
as fluidly and effortlessly as Liam. Here, Liam sings a song written
by Malian musician Afel Boukoum in tribute to Ali Farka Toure, and
then another one from closer to home - a Connemara song, "Sadhbh
Ní Bhruinnealadh."
