Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh's achievements celebrated at Gradam Ceoil
THE term ‘living tradition’ might once have been a term synonymous with a famed music emporium on Cork’s MacCurtain St. But it could have been invented for the woman whose career will be celebrated in the city this weekend at the Gradam Ceoil TG4 ceremony.
When the great and the good of Irish traditional music converge on Cork on Sunday, they will celebrate the achievements of, among others, Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, a musician and singer who embodies the continuum between the music’s past, present, and future.
