Guth na nGael
Guth na nGael is a new landmark music documentary series which explores Irish song through the ages to see if there are discernible thematic threads in our music and song. In each of the six programmes, singer and musician Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh (Altan) embarks on a musical journey of discovery around Ireland, and by jamming and chatting with a host of traditional and contemporary musicians, she endeavours to explore the recurring themes in our music. What particular hang-ups do Irish songwriters have? What threads emerge in our songs that define us as a people? Just why is it that all our wars are merry, and all our songs are sad?
