Mullingar sisters face Réalta agus Gaolta judges this Sunday

Sisters Leanne and Megan Carton from Mullingar perform in front of the Réalta agus Gaolta judges on TG4 this Sunday (March 9) at 8.30pm.

Réalta agus Gaolta aims to find the most talented family in Ireland.

Each week six families go head to head in the hope of securing a spot in this year’s final.

Judging the families are champion sean-nós singer Irial Ó Ceallaigh and award-winning broadcaster Sinéad Ní Uallacháin.

Each week they are joined by a special guest judge.

From Hothouse Flowers co-founder Fiachna Ó Braonáin to maestro fiddle musician Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh and singer and musician Piaras Ó Lorcáin, many of them understand the joy (and challenge) of performing with their families.

They may not all see eye to eye, but host Síomha Ní Ruairc keeps them in check.

This week’s guest judge is Megan Nic Ruairí, a member of the family folk, trad band Clann Mhic Ruairí, and also a singer songwriter in her own right.
