Bhunaigh Peadar Ó Riada Cór Ban Chuil Aodha i 1985 mar gur shíl sé nách raibh cothram na féinne dá thabhairt don fhuinneamh bainnean sa cheantar agus Cór Chúil Aodha na bhfear ag tógaint lár páirce. Bíonn cleachta acu gach Ceadaoin sa Draighean i gCúil Aodha agus tá fáilte roim baill nua. Is i ngaoluinn a déantar curaim agus saothar an Cór seo. Tá dhá shaothar mór fada deacair foilsithe ar dhlth dhioscaí ag na mná seo Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire a thóg suas le fiche bliain cleachta agus saoathr chun é chríochnú agus ansan Laoi na Laoithe a bhí níos faode fós ach a thóg beagán breis ar dhá bhlain le cur le chéile. Cuireadh an dá shaoathr se oar stáitse drom le drom i 2010. Seolfaidh siad an triú taifead dá gcuid ar an oíche seo.

Peadar Ó Riada formed this choir in 1985 as he felt that the female creative energy was not getting its fair share of attention while the men’s Cór Chuil Aodha held sway on stage at home and abroad. They rehearse every Wednesday in An Draighean, Cúil Aodha. All their meetings and works are through the medium of the Irish language.

The choir will be launching their third CD on the night and the performance is free.
