John Toal meets a range of musical guests. In this episode, he goes to Donegal, Lisburn and Belfast to meet Sheerbuzz, Trú and Dani Larkin.

Sraith nua cheoil dóibh siúd a bhfuil a gcroíthe sa cheol. Tá John Toal paiseanta faoin cheol ar feadh a shaoil, agus sa chlár seo faigheann sé léargas ar a bhfuil de réimse ceoil agus tallainne i gcúige Uladh.
Tugadh an leabhar Cas Amhrán dó nuair a bhí sé óg agus tá an leabhar aige ó shin. Agus an leabhar ina lámh aige, téann John ar thóir an cheoil fríd chúige Uladh.

Tá tús bríomhar leis an chlár úrnua seo le ceol ó Sheerbuzz as Leitir Ceanainn. Buaileann John Toal leis an ghrúpa i gCúl Dabhcha agus faigheann sé seans cúrsaí ceoil a phlé leo. Faigheann muid blaiseadh den cheol a mheallann lucht leanúna chucu ó Namibia go hAilt a’ Chorráin.
Ansin buaileann John leis an tríréad Trú. Tagann baill an ghrúpa faoi thionchair éagsúla cheoil a chuireann go mór le héagsúlacht na fuaime, agus roimh dheireadh an chláir, labhraíonn John le Dani Larkin, ceoltóir agus cumadóir, faoi na téamaí a mbíonn sí ag plé leo ina cuid amhránaíochta.

A great new series for music lovers. Music has been John Toal’s lifelong passion, and in this series he taps into the great range of styles and incredible talent across Ulster. As a child, John was given the songbook Cas Amhrán. First published in 1975 and now out of print, John’s well-thumbed copy is still a reference point for him. Each week John will head off with his trusty book to meet people who are making music.

The series kicks off with an exclusive performance from Sheerbuzz from Letterkenny, then to Lisburn where John meets the melodious trio known as Trú. Their mixture of musical backgrounds and voices makes for a very special musical experience. Singer-songwriter Dani Larkin chats to John about the themes that currently occupy her compositions before she finishes the show in style.
