Clare people are being encouraged to bring the festive cheer to the county town's business community this Christmas season. Anticipation is building for the switching on of the Christmas lights in Ennis which will take place on evening of Thursday November 28th, with All-Ireland winning Clare hurling captain Tony Kelly and manager Brian Lohan in attendance as special guests, along with Liam McCarthy himself. The event will be MC'd by Clare FM's own Colum McGrath, with entertainment provided by various local acts including the Circus Ponies and Vocal Ponies as well as local Comhaltas musicians.

Comhaltas na nGaedheal (CnG) is a newly-established group of right-wing extremists in Ireland. It focuses on physical confrontation and is part of a growing international network of so-called “active clubs”.The Active Club movement mixes extreme right-wing positions with a focus on masculinity and physical fitness, particularly mixed martial arts. The CnG group frequently posts photographs of its members engaged in combat sports training. Great care is taken to blur faces and other identifying marks. In some cases, participants' footwear is even blurred to conceal their identities.Members of the group have shown up at several anti-immigrant protests, including in Coolock last March. CnG does not just want a dramatic reduction in immigration, it wants mass deportations, according to an associate of the group who spoke with The Irish Times.In this episode, Irish Times Crime and Security correspondent Conor Gallagher assesses just how much of a threat these groups of self-styled “Irish patriots” are and how the Garda is handling this wave of far right groups.

A Clarecastle councillor claims he was "shocked" by a request to withdraw a motion he tabled at the most recent meeting of Ennis local representatives. Ahead of the upcoming 50th anniversary of the first Fleadh Nua, Councillor Tom O'Callaghan, along with Councillor Johnny Flynn, called on the executive to "refrain from preventing" Comhaltas from using the Abbey Street Carpark Civic Space as a venue for events. A number of the meeting's attendees took exception to the wording of the motion and asked for it to be withdrawn, with Councillors Mary Howard and Clare Colleran-Molloy describing it as "incorrect" and "null and void". Fianna F�il Councillor O'Callaghan says he can't understand the level of opposition to what he believes is a common-sense proposal.

Do you believe in Angels? I do. On Thanksgiving morning I was sitting at the beach doing some editing when along came a few folks strolling along the shoreline. They stopped to have a chat and I overheard one of them say "we kick off our tour tomorrow" so, of course, my ears perked up. I asked them what they did and Olivia said "we have a group called The Celtic Angels" she sings, dances, and plays the Irish drum. Olivia Bradley and Molly Elizabeth Gibson of the Celtic Angels Christmas show are here today to share their journey on the tour and how you just never know who and how you'll get your next gig.  Olivia is a vocalist, performer, and Irish dancer based out of Atlanta, Georgia.  She has performed with professionals such as Emmet Cahill, Sarah Brightman, John Doyle, and Dave Curley.  Olivia has won the Ambassador Award in 2015 and Senior Scholarship in 2020 from Irish Traditions Atlanta, a regional branch of Comhaltas which is an organization involved in the preservation and promotion of Irish traditional music. Additionally, she serves as a private voice instructor with the First Redeemer Conservatory of Music and Fine Arts in Cumming, Georgia. Olivia is thrilled to be touring with Celtic Angels and feels incredibly blessed for the opportunity.

Seán Cleland is an Irish fiddle player, Irish music teacher, adjudicator, collaborator, producer and executive director of the Irish Music School of Chicago, a non-profit traditional Irish music, language, song and dance school, which he founded in 2003.Seán grew up on the North side of Chicago in an Irish-American household.  He started classical violin lessons at age 7, and at age 9 his parents took him to one of the first North American concert tours of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, Ireland's national music organization. The performers that fall night in 1972 were the absolute best traditional musicians, singers and dancers from Ireland including Paddy Glackin, Paddy Ryan and Antoin MacGabhann. That night was so impactful that he decided right then and there that he would play the fiddle.His musical education through the 1970s was energized by such local legends as Liz Carroll, Michael Flatley and Jimmy Keane who were bursting out of Chicago onto the world stage.  Additionally, there were quite a few older Irish musicians who had emigrated to the United States in the 1950s and Sean was incredibly privileged to get to know them and to spend so much time listening to their music and stories.Niall O'Leary TCRG, ADCRG is from Dublin Ireland. A former All-Ireland and World Champion, he founded the Niall O'Leary School of Irish Dance in Dublin in 1995, in the New York metropoilitan area in 1996 and in Florida in 2007.

So - when it comes to this episode, we're nearly lost for words. It's engrossing. A deep dive into a sea teeming with life.  Clare born fiddle player Tola Custy talks about how Irish music nearly died and how his father and others of his generation saved it. About out of tune whistling, the woman who bossed the Tulla Céilí Band and Radical Comhaltas. Growing up in a house divided - Kevin Burke fans on one side, Frankie Gavin fans on the other. He talks about Asturian fiddle playing and Irish fiddle playing; the James Goodman manuscript collection; the Time (Ireland) Act of 1916. He talks about stage fright and feeding off the energy of other musicians, the different beauty of Micho Russell's playing. He talks about the waltz time in his head, and much else besides.  And he plays the folllowing pieces: The Lighthouse and The Mermaid (his own tune) into a Swedish jig followed by a Breton jig So Small The Boat, So Big The Sea (Tola Custy) Time Zone Laneway (Tola Custy) into The Maple Leaf (a reel composed by Darach De Brun for his wedding in 1976) The Yellow Wattle, which Tola learned from the playing of Micho Russell, into Metro-Gnome (his own composition) and finally Love At The Ending.  Following the last solo piece, Tola plays a set of tunes with Ado Barker, and they're then joined by Corinn Strating on flute. Recorded at The Last Jar in Melbourne as part of the first of three bush fire relief fundraisers. All proceeds from this episode of The Blarney Pilgrims will go to the same cause.  You can contribute by going to The Last Jar's facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/The-Last-Jar-393321014068167/ You'll also find details there about the next fundraiser coming up on Saturday 1st February.    Thanks to everyone at the pub, and to Joe Ferguson for his help with the sound.  And Tola, thanks for a stoater of a chat.  -- And if you liked this episode and think you got some worth from it, then please pledge $2 over at www.patreon.com/blarneypilgrims.

This week on Faces & Places, Breifne Earley visited some of the venues taking part in Culture Night last Friday evening across the county. We start in The Dock where local illustrator, animator and film maker Melissa (Doran) Culhane shares about her new short animated film 'A Quack To Far' which was screened as part of the Culture Night programme. We also speak to Conor Lambert ahead of his performance of 'Arignaramus', a one man play by Wayne Denniston. The performer tells us about how growing up as part of the Lambert dynasty set him up for a life in the performing arts. Cllr Enda Stenson speaks about the importance of music in the everyday Leitrim home and how you don't have to take yourself too seriously to get enjoyment out of playing music. Sarah Searson talks to us about The Dock's new collaboration with five other arts centres as part of the Creative Counties project which she will be heading up over the next six months. Next Breifne visits the Olive Tree cafe to hear music from an Alt Folk band by the name of "The Shrine of St. Lochtin's Arm", we find out where the name hails from as well as the history of the band. Finally we head to Drumsna where the local Comhaltas committee hosted a night of traditional music and dance with their members, invited special guests and friends of the organisation from around the area.
