No Fleadh? No Problem!
As none of us are "going to the Fleadh" this year, Comhaltas and RTÉ have joined forces to bring the Fleadh to us. However, they need our help. Starting on Tuesday August 4th, musicians, music lovers and Fleadh devotees everywhere – in Ireland and abroad – are asked to get out, make some music and share the experience by video. The aim is to capture the spirit of the Fleadh as seen on street corners, in bars, on stages and in sitting rooms. This is the music of the people, played by the people. Even though we won’t all be gathering in Mullingar, we will gather virtually, and RTÉ will curate and showcase the best of the videos submitted. Share your videos and pics on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram from next Tuesday using #RTÉFleadhFíorúil or #RTÉVirtualFleadh. Follow @rte on Twitter and /ExploreRTE on Facebook and Insta next week to watch it all play out.
