Podcasts about dublin city ramblers

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 4ú lá de mí Aibreán, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1970 chuaigh an ráta den táirgeadh tionsclaíoch I rith na 60dí suas chuig 500 milliúin punt agus de bharr sin bhí níos mó ná 50 míle post ann d'fhir agus mná. I 1986 bhí na múinteoirí ar buille leis an Aire Oideachas Paddy Cooney de bharr gur tháinig an nuacht amach go mbeadh daoine ón phobal chun teacht isteach agus stiúir a dhéanamh ar na scrúdaithe. I 1998 tháinig an nuacht amach gur chuaigh ceithre dhalta ó bhunscoil CBS I Durlas chuigh craobh na hÉireann den chomhar creidmheasa tráth na gceist. Bhí Morgan Gleeson, Thomas Slattery, Arthur Griffin agus James Kenehan san fhoireann. I 2005 bhí a lán siamsaíocht ar siúil timpeall an chontae cosúil le Liam Clancy, Dublin City Ramblers agus Bagatelle ag canadh I roinnt ionaid timpeall an chontae. Sin Simon & Garfunkle le Bridge Over Troubled Water – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1970. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1987 chuaigh albam U2 The Joshua Tree chuig uimhir a 7 ar an Billboard 200. Chuaigh sé chuig uimhir a haon tar éis trí sheachtain agus fuair sé stádas diamant I Meiriceá, mar dhíol siad níos mó ná 10 milliúin cóip. I 1999 tháinig an nuacht amach gur shroich an dara halbam de The Corrs, Talk On Corners, uimhir a haon sna cairteacha don deichiú huair ónar tháinig sé amach. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Graham Norton in Éirinn I 1963 agus rugadh aisteoir Robert Downey Jr I Nua Eabhrac ar an lá seo I 1965 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 4th of April, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh In 1970: The annual rate of industrial production during the 1960's increased by more than £500,000,000 which created 50,000 new jobs for men and women In 1986: Education minister paddy cooney aroused the fury of striking teachers when he announced that he would hire members of the public to supervise and mark that years school examinations. In 1998- Thurles C.B.S. Primary School made a piece of history when four of its pupils became the first ever team from town to reach the A11-Ireland final of the Credit Union Schools Quiz the team was made of Morgan Gleeson, Thomas Slattery, Arthur Griffin and James Kenehan. In 2005 – Entertainment in the county was plentiful, with Liam Clancy, Dublin City Ramblers and Bagatelle appearing in venues across Tipperary. That was Simon and Garfunkel with Bridge Over Troubled Water – the biggest song on this day in 1970. Onto music news on this day in 1987, U2's fifth album, The Joshua Tree, debuted at No.7 on the Billboard 200, making it the highest first-week entry in seven years. It took another three weeks to reach No.1 and eventually achieved diamond status in America, selling over ten million copies. In 1999, Irish folk-pop band The Corrs saw their second album, Talk On Corners – the top-selling UK album of 1998 – reach No.1 on the UK albums chart for the tenth time since its release two years earlier. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – Graham Norton in Ireland in 1963 and actor Robert Downey Jr was born in New York City on this say in 1965 – and these are some of the things he has done. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 21ú lá de mí an Mhárta, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1979 ní raibh aon solas ag nach mór 150,000 tí timpeall an tír de bharr gur mhúch an ESB an leictreachas agus de bharr sin ní raibh na bus agus na traein ag dul ar aghaidh. I 1986 dúradh nach gcaithfidh sealbhóir tí billí uisce a íoc a chosain 11.5 milliún punt. I 1991 bhí a lán amhránaí ag teacht chuig an chontae I rith seachtain cosúil le The Stunning, Margo agus The Dublin City Ramblers. I 2008 áit iontach chun a bheith ná Baile an Gharraí de bharr gur bhuaigh siad Craobh na hÉireann sa Junior B ag Baile Nua Sheandroma. Bhí siad ag ceiliúradh ar feadh seachtain. Sin Diana Ross le Chain Reaction – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1986. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1961 chan The Beatles don chéad uair I The Cavern Club le The Swinging Bluegenes ag canadh roimhe. Chan The Beatles ag The Cavern Club 275 uair tar éis é sin. I 1973 tháinig sé amach nach raibh aon bhannaí cheoil nó amhránaí a raibh óg chun canadh ar Top of the Pops a thuilleadh de bharr gur chuaigh leantóirí David Cassidy ainrianta nuair a chan sé. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Matthew Broderick I Nua Eabhrac I 1962 agus rugadh aisteoir Gary Oldman I Londain ar an lá seo I 1958 agus seo chuid na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.

Has gone outside of their usual wheelhouse and ventured into the world of instrumental gypsy jazz with their new album Dinner for Derelicts. QUEL BORDEL (QB!) was formed in San Diego, CA in 2013 w/ a Ukrainian, two Filipino brothers, a classically trained violinist, and a punk rock drummer. After the better part of a decade, they have had multiple releases and kept up a vigorous touring regiment of over 150+ shows a year. The band has toured the US, Canada, and Europe, and they have made a small dent in the folk-punk music scene: coining their own sub-genre “world punk.” After the release of their first full-length CD, Caravan Treasures (nominated for Best World Music Album by the 2015 San Diego Music Awards), QB! reveled in a three-week international festival tour with French folk group BandàpArt (headlining Coin de la Vigne, & FestiBaloche in France), which they repeated again 2016 in the US (headlining Crestfest in Colorado, SD GypsyFest in San Diego, and others) amid several regional tours and resident gigs as well. 2017 saw increased regional touring with a full European Tour (headlining Coin de la Vigne again in France, as well as performances at Festibaloche (Olargues, France), and Highmatland Festival (Leutkirch, Germany) a motif that has continued on as the band currently maintains a vigorous touring schedule and band “bromance” with BandàpArt. In fact the two groups have merged into a side-project super-group known as BandàBordel and released an EP together in 2018. QUEL BORDEL! is noted for their wild performances and danceable beats.

Modena City Ramblers is an Italian Band from the Modena area that started in 1991. After travelling to Ireland they were inspired by Celtic music so they began to play together as a hobby. In Ireland many of the bands consist of people that come together for the love of music. They also adopted this philosophy and the concept was that people could come and go as they pleased, so it was a sort of open musical project. Their name was inspired by the Irish band, the Dublin City Ramblers which had a similar concept. Massimo Giacci who is the bass player is the longest standing member of the group since he started in 1992 and has been with them ever since. Francesco Fry Moneti has been with the group since 1996 and he plays the violin and mandolin. Their newest album is entitled Riaccolti and it's available on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/3xSMNI6NIjvvrmJd3nTy7J?si=JBBih1-mSayqCzwfXwRBbw, or record stores. In this interview we talk about some of the adventures that they have had touring around the world. They have played in some incredible places and had the opportunity to meet some important people, but they have also taken part in some really positive projects like working with NGO’s and Francesco worked with OXFAM in Palestine where he had an unforgettable encounter with Arafat. We also talk about a very special guitar that Fry had the possiblity to bring on a MCR tour. It was made entirely out of pieces of migrant boats that sank in the Mediterranean Sea near Lampedusa, Italy. We talk about the significance of the guitar and touch on a handful of people that played it. Several people have approved of this project including Carlos Santana, Avici, Patti Smith, Jovanotti, Vencio Caposella, Franz Ferdinand

Over the river and through the woods to the Windy City Irish Radio studio we go as the boys celebrate all that they are thankful for this holiday season. They are especially thankful for the kind citizen of Dublin who sent provisions across the sea on the ship named The Lyon to rescue the Pilgrims from certain starvation leading to the holiday we celebrate today. Had the Irishman not saved Thanksgiving, Tim and Mike would not be here today to regale you with a cornucopia of songs of the season invoking the major food groups of the Thanksgiving feast. There's bread and honey and butter from Dublin's I Draw Slow and Bloomington's Shanties, there's parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme from The Gothard Sisters and the necessary meat and drink from The Quinn Family. Don't forget the Potato on the Door from the great Liz Carroll, and the holiday favorite, The Cranberries. And, of course, Thanksgiving would not be complete without Dustin the Turkey. Also featuring music to be thankful for from Celtic Spirits, Byrne and Kelly, "Dublin City Ramblers", We Banjo 3, Bing Crosby, and Cathie Ryan in advance of her holiday concert at the Irish American Heritage Center on December 8th. It's a veritable feast that you won't want to miss! Tune in every Wednesday from 8PM - 9PM to WSBC 1240 AM and check out the Thanksgiving podcast at www.windycityirishradio.com
