The new exciting series, Cúltír (“Hinterland”) on TG4 has been supported by Fingal County Council as part of its Creative Ireland Programme and will featured Fingal on Sunday 28 August at 9.30pm. The Fingal programme explored Fingal’s priceless Neolithic heritage at the Bremore Passage Tombs with Fingal Co Co Heritage Officer Christine Baker, as well as showing the contemporary, modern, urban, vibrant Fingal. Singer Pauline Scanlon and violinist Aoife Ní Bhriain celebrated the music and ancient culture of Co. Fingal. For Aoife, it’s a happy homecoming to her native county, as she performs with her father, legendary piper Mick O’Brien. A lively and diverse night of music from the Irish Institute of Music and Song in Balbriggan saw the great Leslie Dowdall host on-stage, while dance troupe ProdiJIG, rapper JyellowL and balladeers Sean Fitzgerald and Daragh Lynch headed up an eclectic line-up which also included folk fusion quarter Pontún and young fiddler Róisín O’Connor, supported by her parents Paudie O’Connor and Aoife Ní Chaoimh . Meanwhile, Aoife went in search of Fingal’s ancient roots, including visiting Garristown Mill and the Hide Sculpture and met the county’s famous “Mummers” as well as David O’Connor, Seán McPhilbín and Garett Phelan along the way.
