AS the year draws to a close, Fleadh Feirste have launched a jam-packed programme of events and artistic initiatives to enjoy. Fleadh Feirste represents the core values of the Irish language community in the Gaeltacht Quarter of Belfast. A range of groups and organisations have come together to produce its most versatile and varied programme yet. The festival will kick start with a night of entertainment by Máire Dubh and friends. The Oíche Síol is always a popular favourite with a night of music, company and prizes to win on the night. Anyone is welcome to attend and sing a few songs, play a few tunes or even tell a story. Oíche Síol will take place on the 26 November at Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich and is a free event but donations are welcome. On Tuesday 20 November, Irish language achievements of the last year will be celebrated at Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich. This will include the residential scheme at Queen’s University and An Dream Dearg’s campaign among other achievements. A panel of guest speakers will discuss the campaigns followed by a traditional music session and night of celebration. The event begins at 5pm until late and is a free of charge. An exciting new 21st century panto will be taking to the stages throughout Fleadh Feirste. The panto Luaithríona agus Pósadh an Phrionsa is a revamped tale written by Seán Ó Muireagáin. Produced by Aisling Ghéar, the show will be performed at An Cultúrlann with school showings from the 30 November until 2 December, and family showings on 3 December. St Mary’s University College Traditional Music Society will be performing a fantastic music session at an Cultúrlann throughout Fleadh Feirste. The session will include Christmas carols, popular traditional tunes and folk songs as well. Glór na Móna will be launching their Sólás na nÓg programme for the next four years. The programme “aims to further develop the current bespoke informal Irish-medium youth work provision for children of Irish-medium primary and secondary level with additional learning and behavioural needs.” Commissioner for Children and Young People Koulla Yiasouma will be a guest speaker at the event. The launch will take place on 30 November at 7pm in Gael-Ionad Mhic Goill. Musician, singer and songwriter Andy Irvine will be performing at Áras Uí Chonghaile on 30 November at 8pm. This is sure to be a popular night as one of the great Irish singers comes to Belfast. The official launch of Raidió Fáilte’s music recording studio will take place on 1 December at 12pm and the event will be broadcast live. Ionad Uíbh Eachach are organising an Ollchiorcal Comhrá in Cumann Chluain Árd which will bring together Irish speakers of all levels. Taking place in Cumann Chluian Árd and a music session will follow after. The event will take place on the 2 December at 7pm. The annual lecture and dinner will take place at the Cultúrlann on 3 December at 7:30pm. Great buzz in @Culturlann for the launch of Fleadh Feirste 2022!— Fáilte Feirste Thiar (@FailteFeirste) November 18, 2022 We're delighted to partner with such an incredible festival with lots happening across west Belfast over the coming weeks 🙌 Is léir go bhfuil pobal na nGael faoi bhláth in Iarthar Bhéal Feirste 👏 pic.twitter.com/aa8SwMo7to Don’t miss the chance to meet Daidí na Nollag this Christmas during Fleadh Feirste as he will be visiting An Cultúrlann on 4 December at 1pm. All the good children will get a present on the day as well as a fun art workshop taking place. The Christmas tree lights will be switched on by special guests on the 4 December also at 4pm at the Cultúrlann and is a free event. Special guests this year includes Dáithí Mac Gabhann, "a young Gael from West Belfast and hero of the ‘Is Deontóir Mé’ campaign" along with the "powerful Dream Dearg campaign which inspired 20,000 to take to the streets in demand of language rights." From live broadcast, book launches to film showings and poetry competition, Fleadh Feirste has you covered this festive season. Launching the event last Friday at An Cultúrlann, Tina Black, Lord Mayor of Belfast said: “It’s such a pleasure to help launch Fleadh Feirste 2022, the Gaeltacht Quarter’s annual festival. It gives us a wonderful opportunity to be immersed in the Irish language through traditional music, art and poetry. Ócáid den scoth ag @Culturlann inniu ag seoladh Fhleadh Feirste!— Áras Uí Chonghaile | James Connolly Visitor Centre (@JamesConnollyVC) November 18, 2022 Tá muid thar a bheith sásta bheith páirteach sa Fhleadh arís i mbliana - ádh mór ar na rannpháirtithe agus na himeachtaí ar fad 🙌🏼 Great to be at the launch of Fleadh Feirste today - some great events ahead✨ pic.twitter.com/FUFH2EoVvX "The partnership and collaboration evident in this programme is testament to the vibrancy and creativity of the Gaeltacht Quarter’s Irish language community – and I love that there’s an opportunity for all ages to get involved and enjoy it. "From Luaithríona – a revamped Cinderella for the 21st century – to the launch of Ráidió Fáilte’s music recording studio, traditional music sessions in the Cultúrlann every lunchtime, Forbairt Feirste’s annual lecture and dinner and Cultúrlann’s family day with Santa’s grotto – it’s a real treat for the season.” More information on the festival can be found at An Cultúrlann’s website and social media channels.

Tá Fleadh Feirste, féile Nollag na Ceathrún Gaeltachta, níos mó, níos fairsinge agus níos ilghnéithí ná riamh agus 15 eagraíocht Ghaeilge ag obair ar scáth a chéile le clár den scoth a chur ar fáil. Féile ealaíon go príomhá atá san Fhleadh ach is léiriú é an clár ar an éagsúlacht mhór gort a bhíonn á dtreabhadh ag lucht na Gaeilge in Iarthar Bhéal Feirste. Tá ceolchoirmeacha agus cainteanna ann, scannán agus seoltaí leabhar. Tá ollchiorcal comhrá agus taispeántais ealaíne ann, mar aon le cúrsa forbartha gairmiúla daofa siúd a thosaigh ag obair in earnáil na Gaeilge ar na mallaibh. Is í an tArd-Mhéara Tina Black a sheol Fleadh Feirste go hoifigiúil i nDánlann Dillon i gCultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich ar an 18 Samhain. Labhair sí go geanúil ar na daoine óga a chruthaigh atmaisféar beoga, paiseanta lena gcuid ceoil ar an lá, cór Rang 4 ó Ghaelscoil na bhFál agus Cumann Ceoil Thraidisiúnta Choláiste Ollscoile Naomh Muire. Dhírigh sí féin agus Gilly Campbell ón Chomhairle Ealaíon, príomh-mhaoinitheoir na Cultúrlainne, ar thréith a shníomhann go láidir trí Fhleadh Feirste, mar atá an chomhpháirtíocht. Cad iad na seoda atá le haimsiú ag cuairteoirí ar an Cheathrú Ghaeltachta idir 30 Samhain agus 4 Nollaig mar sin? Cuirfear tús neamhoifigiúil leis na himeachtaí Dé Máirt, an 29 Samhain ar 5pm nuair a dhéanfar ceiliúradh sa Chultúrlann ar na héachtaí atá bainte amach i mbliana ag feachtasóirí ar son cearta teanga. Tá scéim chónaithe Ghaeilge nua ar an fhód in Ollscoil na Banríona agus tá comharthaíocht Ghaeilge ar an champas sin agus ar champas Ollscoil Uladh fosta. Ar ndóigh, ní fada go mbeidh an Bille um Fhéiniúlacht agus Teanga achtaithe ag lucht Westminster, 16 bliana i ndiaidh gur gealladh a leithéid de reachtaíocht. Beidh plé ann fá dhua agus buanna na bhfeachtas seo uilig, ansin ceolchoirm agus Ard-Seis a rianóidh cúrsa na bpubanna síos go lár na cathrach. Great buzz in @Culturlann for the launch of Fleadh Feirste 2022!— Fáilte Feirste Thiar (@FailteFeirste) November 18, 2022 We're delighted to partner with such an incredible festival with lots happening across west Belfast over the coming weeks 🙌 Is léir go bhfuil pobal na nGael faoi bhláth in Iarthar Bhéal Feirste 👏 pic.twitter.com/aa8SwMo7to Tá ceolchoirm Andy Irvine in Áras Uí Chonghaile díolta amach, ach tá ticéidí go fóill fágtha don gheamaireacht sa Chultúrlann, léiriú Aisling Ghéar ar ‘Luaithríona agus Pósadh an Phrionsa’ le Seán Ó Muireagáin. Tá dhá sheoladh leabhar eagraithe ag An Ceathrú Póilí ar an 3 Nollaig, úrscéal nua le Jake Mac Siacais, Tearmann na Mara, agus atheagrán den leabhar beag gorm is ansa linn uilig, Abair Amhrán, atá curtha in eagar ag Marcas Ó Murchú. Ardseis eile i ndán dúinn an lá sin! Beidh deis ann foghlaim faoi ghné na logainmneacha sna hamhráin Ghaeilge ag léacht Chonradh na Gaeilge, Dúchas sa Cheol, Dé Céadaoin, an 30 Samhain ar 7.30pm sa Chultúrlann. Is galánta an toradh atá tagtha as comhpháirtíocht idir Ionad Uíbh Eachach agus Cumann Chluain Árd an Nollaig seo. Beidh Ollchiorcal Comhrá ar siúl i Sráid na Sceiche d’fhoghlaimeoirí bunleibhéil, meánleibhéil agus ardleibhéil ar 7pm Dé hAoine, an 2 Nollaig, le seisiún ceoil ina dhiaidh. Ní raibh sé bliain féin ar oscailt go raibh air druidim arís mar gheall ar Covid, ach tá stiúideo taifeadta ceoil nua Raidió Fáilte réidh le seoladh go hoifigiúil Déardaoin, an 1 Nollaig, ar 12pm. Áis iontach don phobal a bheas sa stiúideo seo, áit a mbeidh oirfidigh áitiúla agus lucht uirlisí in ann buanú a dhéanamh ar a gcuid ceoil agus lucht éisteachta níos leithne a aimsiú. Beidh teicneoirí óga in ann a gcuid scileanna a fheabhsú fosta agus gan aon amhras beidh an stiúideo ceoil ar cheann de na tograí Gaeilge is spreagúla sa chathair go ceann na mblianta fada. Tá lucht Fhóram na nÓg agus Ghlór na Móna in Uachtar Chluanaí ceannródaíoch i gcónaí. Fuair siad maoiniú ar na mallaibh ón Chrannchur Náisiúnta fá choinne clár oideachais neamhfhoirmeálta do pháistí a bhfuil sainriachtanais acu. Seolfaidh an Coimisinéir um Leanaí agus Daoine Óga, Koulla Yiasouma, Sólás na nÓg Dé Céadaoin, an 30 Samhain ar 7pm i nGael-Ionad Mhic Goill. Is é an tOirmhinneach Marty McNeely a bheas mar aoichainteoir ag dinnéar Cothaigh, a bhíonn á eagrú ag Forbairt Feirste ar bhonn bliantúil. Bhí páirt mhór ag Marty, a bhíonn ag obair sa Bhaile Caol ar an Bhaile Meánach, sa togra Ceiliúradh Caomhnóireachta a threisigh na naisc idir an Eaglais Phreispitéireach agus muintir na Ceathrún Gaeltachta le bliain agus tuilleadh anuas. Chaith líonra d’eagrais Ghaeilge in Iarthar Bhéal Feirste seacht mbliana i mbun taighde agus pleanála teanga sula bhfuair siad an maoiniú le Comhordaitheoir a cheapadh chun a bplean, ina bhfuil beagnach 90 beart ar leith, a chur i bhfeidhm. Fís an Phobail an t-ainm nua atá ar an líonra agus tá Meitheal Mheantóireachta bunaithe acu a dhíríonn ar fhorbairt ghairmiúil in earnáil na Gaeilge. Seolfar an Mheitheal sa Chultúrlann ar 1pm, an 2 Nollaig. Beidh críoch spleodrach le Fleadh Feirste nuair a bheas an fear mór é féin, Daidí na Nollag, sa Chultúrlann le bualadh leis na páistí uilig. Seolfaidh An tSnáthaid Mhór an leabhar is déanaí dá gcuid agus beidh imeachtaí spraíúla go leor ann ar an lá mór teaghlaigh seo. Tá Daithí Mac Gabhann ina mháistir fán am seo ar lasadh soilse an chrainn Nollag agus beidh sé ar ais inár measc arís i mbliana leis an jab tábhachtach seo a chur i gcrích. Beidh printísigh aige an iarraidh seo, mar atá An Dream Dearg. D’fhoghlaim sé daofa an dóigh le dlí úr a thabhairt isteach, eisean ag plé le deonú orgán, na Deargóirí ag dul do chearta teanga. Táimid uilig thar a bheith bródúil as achan duine acu agus táimid ag súil go mór le ceiliúradh mór groí a dhéanamh leo sa Chultúrlann Dé Domhnaigh, an 4 Nollaig. Tá clár iomlán Fhleadh Feirste le fáil ar www.culturlann.ie.
