TG4 in partnership with Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, brings us Fleadh2020, a 4-night celebration of Fleadh Ceoil around the world from 6th- 9th of August at 9.30pm on TG4.

Fleadh2020 is a gathering (socially distanced and virtual) of Irish traditional musicians from around the world who, under normal circumstances, would be coming together to celebrate the All-Ireland Fleadh - ‘The Homecoming’ - in Mullingar in August. Over the 4 nights 6-9 August, Fleadh2020, will capture the essence of this annual event - the music, song and dance and the stories – and present a unique insight into the fleadh community, across Ireland and around the world. From Brisbane to Buncrana the young and the old, the learners and the legends come together to bring you a fleadh like never before.

On each of the 4 nights Dáithí Ó Sé, Doireann Ní Ghlacáin and Kieran Hanrahan take us on a journey through a different province starting with Munster, through Connacht, Ulster and, finally, Leinster. Each night also includes music from musicians around the world - from Scotland, New York, Tokyo and Brisbane and plenty of chat and fleadh stories along the way too.

On Thursday the 6th of August we kick off Fleadh2020 with a celebration of all things Munster with music from the Crossfields Céilí Band from Freemount in Cork, Meabh Begley from Baile na nGall, Mick Flannery- Cork and Susan O’Neill from Ennis, Aidan and Aine O’Donnell and friends from Tipperary, last year’s u-12 fiddle champion Laoise Ni Chinnéide with Brian Morrissey from Tipperary and Chris Kelly- Galway, the five Fitzgibbon siblings from Croom, Co. Limerick, the Droney family from Co. Clare, and traditional music’s legendary duo, Seamus Begley and Steve Cooney.
