QuoteLurgan band Captain Kennedy will be appearing on BBC 2's Blas Ceoil programme on Thursday 30th October. Presented by Lynette Fay and Karen Kirby, the series is a journey around local music venues, showcasing musical talent from the area and highlighting the history and influence of music and language there. 

The programme introduces the audience to a new generation of musicians from each area performing alongside established singers and players who have gained worldwide recognition as performing artists. 

In Episode 3 of the series to be shown Thursday at 10pm, Captain Kennedy will be playing alongside The Tennessee Hennessey's, Ruairí Cunnane and Forkhill native Paula Flynn.

Series producer and presenter Karen Kirby says: "Following on from the success of the first series, we're delighted to be given the opportunity again to work with some of the country's best emerging and established musical talent.

It was obvious from our journey around the counties of Northern Ireland last time that there was a huge potential to revisit each one, with an abundance of high quality musicians, all of various styles and influence, just waiting in the wings.  We're drawing upon that local pool of talent again, placing well-known names on the same bill as new singers and musicians.

I hope that the audience at home will once again get the sense that they're at the event themselves, having the opportunity to hear and see everything that has been recorded on radio and online".

Folk and roots music at its best from O'Hanlon's Bar in Mullaghbawn. Captain Kennedy, Tennessee Hennesseys, guitarist and singer Ruairí Cunnane and Forkhill native Paula Flynn all make for a great night's entertainment.

Beidh an chuid is fearr de cheol traidisiúnta agus de cheol tuaithe na condae le cluinstin anocht ó aoícheoltóirí na hócáide ag teach tábhairne Ó'Hanlon ar an Mhullach Bán, Co. Ard Mhacha. Oíche bhreá shiamsúil in ann dúinn ag éisteacht le Captain Kennedy, leis na Tennessee Hennesseys, leis an ghiotaraí / amhránaí Ruairí Cunnane, agus le Paula Flynn.

If anybody wants to know how to rip the DRM out of BBC iPlayer files (so you can watch them again after your weeks up) drop me a PM.

Was that some of the bros paintings I spotted on the walls of Cultúrlann this afternoon?

The Gs Man
