RTÉ Virtual Fleadh | RTÉ Fleadh Fíorúil

#RTÉFleadhFíorúil | #RTÉVirtualFleadh

We can’t fleadh like it’s 1999 … the world has changed after all. But that won’t stop us channeling the epic energy of Irish traditional music at its finest. At home, on stage, on your favourite landmark (careful now) just share your flair using #RTÉFleadhFíorúil or #RTÉVirtualFleadh and we’ll do the rest. And remember, keep it socially distant.

We might not be “going to the Fleadh” this year, so let Comhaltas and RTÉ us bring the Fleadh to you. Starting on Tuesday August 4th, we are calling out to you … musicians, music lovers and Fleadh devotees everywhere – in Ireland and abroad – to show us what you’ve got. We will aim to capture the spirit of the Fleadh as seen on street corners, in bars, on stages – 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 what we get.

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.


In This Story: Ireland

Ireland is an island in the North Atlantic. It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George’s Channel.

Geopolitically, Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland (officially named Ireland), which covers five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. As of 2016, 4.8 million people live in the Republic of Ireland, and 1.8 million live in Northern Ireland.

The Irish climate is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and thus very moderate, and winters are milder than expected for such a northerly area, although summers are cooler than those in continental Europe. Rainfall and cloud cover are abundant.

A strong Irish culture exists, as expressed through Gaelic games, Irish music and the Irish language. The island’s culture shares many features with that of Great Britain, including the English language, and sports such as association football, rugby, horse racing, and golf.
