Gael Linn began broadcasting a series of live videos on their Facebook page every Thursday at 6pm. The series is called ‘Teach le Chéile’, where we will visit well-known singers, musicians and storytellers. The series began on the 7th May and to date we have been in Cúil Aodha with renowned musician, Peadar Ó Riada, in Mín an Iolair with acclaimed sean-nós singer Máire Ní Choilm, in Cork with the well-known storyteller, Pádraig Ó Brian, in Ranelagh with Na Casaidigh - Feargus and his two sons, Maitiú and Stiofán, in the Waterford Gaeltacht of An Rinn, with multi-instrumentalist Caoimhín Ó Fearghail and in Ráth Chairn Glas na Mí with Étáin and Máire Ní Churraoin (An Chéad Ghlúin Eile).
