Evin Downey
Togadh Evin Downey in Áth Cliath ach tá sé ina chónaí i nGlaschú le níos mó ná 11 bliain anois, meallta anseo as a ghrá don bhia domhainfhriochta.
Tar éis do a dhéanamh roinnt iarrachtaí i Nua-Eabhrac & i Londain, thainig sé ar ais don Ghaeilge in Glaschú trí ranganna ag Conradh na Gaeilge Glaschú (an áit ina oibríonn sé anois mar Oifigeach Forbartha) agus ag cúrsaí samhraidh ag Oideas Gael i nGaeltacht Dhún na nGall.
Beidh béim ina sheó, Cluas Oscailte, ar amhráin i Gaeilge , de gach saghas, ach fósta beidh le cloisteáil ceol ó áit ar bith agus de chineál ar bith.
Agus táthar ag súil go mbeidh aoi nó beirt sa stiúideo ó am go ham fa choinne ceol beo !!
Is é aidhm an seó na go mbeidh sé taitneamhach do dhuine ar bith cíbe leibhéal Gaeilge atá acu.
Evin Downey is from Dublin but now living in Glasgow for more than 11 years, enticed here by a love of deep-fried foods.
After some aborted attempts in New York & London, since moving to Glasgow he has reconnected with Irish through classes at Conradh na Gaeilge Glaschú (where he now works as a Development Officer) and summer courses at Oideas Gael in the Donegal Gaeltacht.
His show, Cluas Oscailte (An Open Ear), will have an emphasis on Irish language songs of all genres but also feature music from anywhere and of any type.
And hopefully there’ll also be the odd guest in studio for a bit of live music !!
This is a show that aims to be enjoyable to those with any level of Irish, or none.
