San eagrán seo, pléann Marcas agus Róise an dóigh a dtig le foinn athrú de réir mar a théann na foinn chéanna ag taisteal! Labhraíonn Marcas faoi laetha a ollscoile agus a chomhluadar ceolmhar ann. Labhraíonn Róise ar an tionchar a d’imir Ceoltóirí Inis Eoghain ar stíl sheinnte fidile s’aici féin agus cuimhníonn siad fosta ar Maurice Bradley, fidléir nach maireann, san eagrán seo. Tugann siad léargas dúinn ar roinnt de na seisiúin ceoil a mbíonn siad ag freastal orthu, go dtarraingíonn siad gach aoisghrúpa leo agus cluineann muid faoi cheithre ghlúin de dhamhsóirí, Róise ina measc. An bhfuil ionadh ar bith orainn, mar sin, gur thug Róise, atá neadaithe sa traidisiún ar iomaí dóigh, bonn ór don Phortaireacht agus bonn airgid don Amhránaíócht Ghaeilge ar ais léi go Doire ó Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2025? Ar nóta eile, bí cinnte tiúnáil isteach anocht le fáil amach cé a d’ainmnigh an fidléir Frankie Gavin mar ‘an fidléir is gaiste ar domhan’!

In this episode, Marcas and Róise discuss how tunes can change with travel and indeed they both travel back in time to Marcas’ university days. Róise speaks of the influences of Inishowen musicians in particular on her own fiddle style and they also remember fiddle player Maurice Bradley in this episode. They share how some of the great pub music sessions they frequent together attract musicians from all generations and we also hear about four generations of dancers, Róise amongst them. Is it a surprise then, that Róise who is steeped in such a variety within the tradition, would bring back gold for Lilting and silver for Irish Singing at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2025? On another note, tune in to this episode to find out who named Frankie Gavin ‘one of the fastest fiddlers on the planet’!
