AN BUÍON CEOIL
 Is
i Nua Eabhrac a síolraíodh fréamhacha an bhuíon
cheoil Solas, agus mar sin tá sé ag fóirstean
gurb iadsan a dhéanann an ceol a shóláthar
do BLAS na Féile Pádraig beo ón chathair chéanna.
Rinneadh taifead ar na rianta ceoil seo beo in Joe’s Pub,
Sráid Lafayette, Nua Eabhrac.
It was in New York that the seeds of the Irish-American supergroup
were sown and so it is fitting that they supply the tunes for this
St Patrick’s Day BLAS special live from the Big Apple. The
sets were recorded live in Joe’s Pub, Lafayette Street, New
York.

AN MAINICÍN
 Is
de bhunadh Mhuineacháin í Caitríona de Balfe,
atá lonnaithe anois i gcathair Nua Eabhraic. Bhí spéis
mhór riamh ag Caitríona sa Ghaeilge agus í
ag fás aníos, agus thaisteal sí chuig Gaeltacht
Rann Na Feirste achan bhliain – áit ar chuir Lynette
Fay aithne uirthi ar dtús. Agus í i Nua Eabhrac, buaileann
Lynette le Caitríona i gceantar faiseánta an East
Village faoi choinne cupán caifé…
“Ireland’s only international supermodel,” New-York
based Caitríona de Balfe, maintained a strong interest in
the Irish language while she was growing up back in Co. Monaghan.
As a teenager, she spent a few weeks every summer in the Rannafast
Irish College and it was there that Lynette Fay first met her. Across
the Atlantic, their reunion takes place in a café downtown
in the East Village.
AN PEILEADÓIR
Is de bhunadh Dhún na nGall é Frank Molloy agus
is peileadóirí den chéad scoth iad muintir
s’aige – is deartháir é le Anthony Molloy,
an té a thóg Corn Mhig Uidhir do na Connallaigh i
1992. Le 25 bliain anuas atá Frank ag cur faoi i Nua Eabhrac
agus níl a dhúil sna cluichí Gaelacha ídithe
ar chor ar bith thar na blianta – ba í an pheil a mheall
chun na Stáit Aontaithe é sa chéad dul síos!
Donegal man Frank Molloy comes from a family of famous Gaelic footballers,
including his brother Anthony Molloy. Frank has been living in New
York for 25 years now and his passion for Gaelic games has not been
diluted one bit. In fact, it was Gaelic football that brought him
to New York in the first place!

cad é an ról atá ag an Ardchonsail i saol na
nGaelmheiriceánach.
