TG4 show will celebrate Brigid and the women of Ireland

Ardóidh mé mo Sheol - Lá Le Bríde 2023 is a music and entertainment show that will celebrate Brigid and the women of Ireland.

Brigid’s sheltering famous cloak gathered women of all traditions and Ardóidh mé mo Sheol seeks to emulate this.

It will also shine a light on the celebrations of Imbolg, which marks the arrival of longer, warmer days and an emergence from the darkness of winter.

Across seventy-five minutes Brigid’s life, myths, traditions and influences will be celebrated by an ensemble cast of diverse Irish people, musicians, singers, poets, mythologists and academics.

Presenters Síle Ní Bhraonáin and Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin guide us through a musical celebration of Brigid, both goddess & saint on this first bank holiday weekend in her honour.

Filmed in front of a live audience in the majestic surroundings of St Brigid’s Cathedral, Kildare Town, on the very grounds that Brigid is said to have established a church and monastery in 480 A.D, there’ll be music from T with the Maggies, Tara Erraught, John Francis Flynn & Paddy Keenan playing together for the first time, Ceol na mBan, The Nás na Rí Singers, Precious Abimbola and many more.

Musical guests include Siubhán O’Connor; Paddy Keenan; John Francis Flynn; T with the Maggies; Tara Erraught; Nás na Rí Singers; and Precious Abimbola.

Presentered by Síle Ní Bhraonáin & Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin, it airs Sunday February 5 2023 at 9.30pm.
