An Bothy Band
Irish traditional music group The Bothy Band reunite for a special performance and reminisce about their years on the road in the 1970s.
I gclár faisnéise úr, tagann The Bothy Band le chéile le seinm ar an ardán arís don chéad uair le beagnach caoga bliain anuas.
Bunaíodh an grúpa i 1975, agus tháinig rath orthu as a stíl uathúil cheoil a léirigh siad ar ardáin idirnáisiúnta thar tréimhse trí bhliain. D’fhág siad oidhreacht luachmhar cheoil ina ndiaidh a bhfuil tionchar aici ar cheoltóirí an lae inniu go fóill.
Sa chlár faisnéise seo, cluintear ó bhaill an bhanna a mhaireann Matt Molloy, Dónal Lunny, Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill, Kevin Burke, Paddy Glackin agus Paddy Keenan. Leanann an scannán na ceoltóirí agus iad ag cleachtadh do cheolchoirm speisialta i gcroílár chathair Bhaile Átha Cliath, áit a chuaigh siad ar an ardán le chéile don chéad uair.
Déanann baill an ghrúpa scéalta pearsanta a roinnt faoin bhuaireamh agus crá a bhaineann le saol ar an bhóthar, faoin dóigh a tháinig siad le chéile ar dtús báire, agus faoi na cúiseanna ar cuireadh deireadh leis an bhanna ceoil sa deireadh.
The Bothy Band reunite to perform for the first time in almost 50 years.
Formed in 1975, the traditional music group brought their unique sound to many countries during their three years together, creating a musical legacy that still resonates and influences many present-day musicians.
We hear from surviving band members Matt Molloy, Dónal Lunny, Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill, Kevin Burke, Paddy Glackin and Paddy Keenan as we follow them through rehearsals for their homecoming concert in Dublin’s inner city, where they first performed.
The group share personal stories about the trials and tribulations of life on the road, what brought them together, and the fallout that ultimately led to them going their separate ways.
