TG4 received a whopping eight nominations at the annual Celtic Media Festival received Awards announced last week.
The festival will take place – physically for the first time since 2019 – in the beautiful city of Quimper in Brittany from 7 - 9 June.
However, there is enough to keep us glued to the TV screens this month, on television or on the TG4 Player.
After three years in Belfast, the TG4 Gradam Ceoil is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a specially-commissioned programme, live from Dublin’s National Concert Hall, in which the TV station recognises and celebrates our traditional singers and dancers.
Paddy Glackin, Diarmuid Ó Meachair, Connie O’Connell, Edwina Guckian, Dolores Keane and Sarah Ghriallais are amongst those receiving awards while the new Group Award goes to Skara Brae in a programme which will be broadcast on Easter Sunday.
