Raidió na Gaeltachta Music Editor, Neansaí Ní Choisdealbha, a talented musician in her own right, will be on the lookout for the best in trad music all week, which she will bring to listeners Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday on Ceol Binn ó na Beanna from 7pm – 9 pm live from the Ródaí.  Last year, Neansaí’s guests included the Mulcahy Family, John and Jacinta McEvoy, Edel Fox, Ann and Nicky McAuliffe, Leo Rickard and Jimmy O’Brien Moran, to name but a few, and trad fans won’t be disappointed if they tune in to the shows this year.
