Mary O Hara | Cruitire Clúiteach

Mary O Hara | Cruitire Clúiteach

Sunday, 28 December 2014, 8.30pm

From her early days in Sligo to her current home on the Aran Islands, this one hour documentary tells the remarkable story of harpist and singer, Mary O’Hara who for many years was Ireland’s greatest music export. She performed at Carnegie Hall and in the Sydney Opera House, had her own BBC series and appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. And then, with the world at her feet, she gave it all up. 12 years later she returned from obscurity, rose to the top of her game again, and then gave it all up for a second time. This one hour documentary tells Mary’s remarkable story, in her own words.

Clár faisnéise ar an gcruitire agus an t-amhránaí clúiteach, Mary O’Hara, ar as Sligeach ó dhúchas í ach atá ina cónaí in Árainn anois. Bhí clú agus cáil ar Mary i ndeireadh na gcaogaidí agus chas sí i Carnegie Hall, in Áras Ceoldrámaíochta Sydney, bhí a sraith féin aici ar an BBC agus bhí sí ar The Ed Sullivan Show cúpla uair. Bhí sí i mbarr a réime nuair a shocraigh sí éirí as an gceol. 12 bliain déag ina dhiaidh sin d’fhill sí ar an gceol arís agus d’éirigh thar cion arís léi ach tar éis scaithimh shocraigh sí arís éirí as. Inseoidh Mary a scéal féin dúinn.
