Ceol comhaimseartha as Gaeilge (Contemporary irish language music recommends)

Many foriegners looking more into more music as gaeilge following from Unreal Unearth and have been asked afew times about it. So Im gon give afew recommendations

Seo Linn - Folk/Indie/Soft Rock group formed in Conamara and have a good range of sounds ranging from newer covers of our most popular folk songs (Óró sé do bheatha abhaile , Siúil a Rúin and Mo ghile mear are among the best) and are a good intro point

IMLÉ - More of a collection of artists who bring different sound styles together and topics in their lyrics. Honestly, just take the entireity of the self-titled album as a taster

Róisín Seoighe - A great soloist and someone who transfers aspects of Canadh Sean Nós into a newer format. Alot of her work and songs touch on the state of Gaeilge (Níl mé marbh and Sín do lamh).

Kneecap - One of the more well-known, atleast over here. A rap trio from Belfast/Derry, and alot of their lyrics and flow focuses much more on the specific experience of both millenial life and Gaeilgeoirí and An Ghaeilge in the North, and what its actually like trying to engage with society through our language when half of the the governmental institution has contempt for its existence. CEARTA, one of their singles, has still stayed a sort of aintiún (anthem) for language rights up here in the North. Also, heavy heavy anti-colonialism, mar sin craic Mhaith (see their JOE.ie interview). Otherwise, some of ther best works you might like are Cearta, Bouncers agus Gael-Gigolos

TG Lurgan - A sort of summer school/learning scheme that started out of the Connemara Gaeltacht, meant to help irish learners pick up the more natural flow specifically by learning through music. Nearly all of the music is sung by school kids and leading musicians with the majority being covers of pop songs. So you can find the lyrics online easily, and can be a helpful way for people trying to learn how to deal with the lack of real word-for-word translation ó Ghaeilge go Béarla.

This is just a handful of artists, and the first handful rarely scrape over 2000 streams a month. Modern irish music is still very much a niche in its own way, miserably so even on our island. Theres no shortage of music you can find being made by newer artists though, even if ceol as gaeilge only makes up some of their work

Tá súil agam go bhfaighidh tú roinnt a mbaineann tú taitneamh astu, agus má tá tú ag foghlaim, go gcabhraíonn sé leat

Some of the most enjoyable power-pop I’ve heard in a long time; CMAT is absolutely one to watch.

It's my birthday! If folks could please give my art some love it would make me super happy uvu

As you can see I'm a traditional painter working in primarily oils or gouache paint. I like working in a stylised fashion as well as in something closer to realism. It depends on the subject, my mood, and what I want to do/convey. I hope you all like them :)

Waiting For The Kettle Age Seven

After my brother’s stabbing I remember the kettle boiling

At light’s lapsing arrived dour parents, wearing day’s toiling

Alighting long suffering fell silent and longsighing allowed finally feel thankful

Tankful of upturned woe vial, aside them angels and viler iterations

April’s ides bewared, too tired for ire they thanked God for two sons

Dad upon his gracious knees, who oft prayer shuns 

I lacking understanding looked on uncaring, peering through cracks to see in

What thoughts I harboured about blades were mostly Tolkien’s 

Stirring with a spoon I mull, beside my plate

A knife’s soon fate; unavoidable union of flesh and metal. 

Same since Cain that day come around again, evolution we chuckle seems in vain

His blood armoured boots rigid as timbers stood months in the corner of the room

Grizzly trophies, as if he’d been raptured; the ghost that had lived in mam’s womb. 

But he is not dead and he did not die, memento mori his boots recall knives

No man longs peace like the man who has bled

He didn’t die, goddammit, he is not dead.
