The revolution is back! Ravelóid sa chathair will be held in various locations around Dublin from June 9-11, 2016, and everyone is welcome to attend the festival’s Irish language events, whether you’re a fluent Gaeilgeoir or only have the cúpla focal.
The festival kicks off with GaelGáirí, a comedy show in Club Conradh na Gaeilge at 9.00pm on Thursday, June 9, 2016. Amongst the performers will be Martin Angolo, Danny O’Brien, Ger Staunton and Raidió Ráiméis; a fun night is in store as they try and make their audience laugh through Irish.
The entertainment through Irish continues with concerts from the likes of The Bonnymen, Rís, Mundy, members of Kíla and Seo Linn in the Sugar Club on Friday night, and although there are no tickets left, you can sign up to the waiting list for Ravelóid sa Chathair here.
The focus will be on families on Saturday, June 11, 2016, with an Irish Brunch at midday in TGI Fridays on Stephen's Green, a history walk on the Green itself at 1.30pm and a treasure hunt throughout the city centre at 2.45pm. The last two events will commence at the Royal College of Surgeons and the fun will continue with a music session across the road in Stephen’s Green at 3.45pm.
Various workshops have also been organised for Saturday afternoon by the main office of Conradh na Gaeilge at 6 Harcourt Street, for example, yoga through Irish with Óga Yóga at 1.00pm, an information session about the initiate 5 nóiméad ar son na Gaeilge at 2.00pm, and Cleasanna don Ghnáthdhuine, a workshop on digital communications with the team from PEIG and Tomaí Ó Conghaile, the editor of *Nós, at 3.00pm.
Down in the basement, Má’s Féidir will be kicking off the music in Club Conradh na Gaeilge at 2.00pm. Following them will be Oski Bravo, Na Taoisigh, Soats Colombo, Dysania, Tebi Rex and Sive along with the solo performers Doiminic Mac Giolla Bhríde, Lauren Ní Chasaide, Emma Ní Fhíoruisce, Enda Reilly and Eve Belle, which will carry on for the rest of the afternoon. There will be pizza and drinks available in the beer garden and from the two bars in the club, a top-secret band will be bringing this special night to a close at 11.00pm.
Each of the events taking place as a part of Ravelóid sa Chathair are completely free, but there are limited spaces available, so the organisers recommend arriving early to the events to avoid disappointment.
Information is available at Raveloid online.
