The resulting film highlights life on these islands, their shared culture and heritage. Achill International Harp Festival extends a warm welcome back to all our viewers from around the world for another online celebration of music and culture. We hope that in 2022, the year of the harp, many of you will be able to join us in person, here on Achill Island for a live festival not to be missed. Artists Casadh na Taoide The Turning of the Tide This project was commissioned by AIHF An epic cultural voyage reconnecting the communities of five islands off the west coast of Ireland through music, song and story. Earlier this year, a traditional Galway Hooker, Mac Duach, visited Inishbofin, Inishturk, Clare Island, Achill Island and Arranmore. Onboard were AIHF Artistic Directors, Laoise Kelly and Diarmuid Gielty and project manager Freda Hatton. Travelling between the islands our group encountered musicians, artists and storytellers, as well as many memorable island characters . They have gathered stories of shared heritage and culture, with the hope of forging new connections for a shared future. Programme of Events Friday - 22nd October Film: Casadh na Taoide The Turning of the Tide This film by Heavy Man Films captures the essence of the Casadh na Taoide project, with particular focus on selected artists from each island, including Andrew Murray (Inishbofin), Cathy O’Toole (Inishturk), Beth Moran (Clare Island), Proinsias Mac a’ Bhaird (Arranmore) and Mary Lavelle Burke (Achill).

Children’s Bilingual Story: The Dagda’s Harp The Dagda was the chieftain of the Tuatha dé Danann, he owned many magical items but his prized possession was Uaitne, his harp.

Féile Chruite Acla - 00Laethanta - 00Uaireanta - 00Nóiméid - 00Soicind Féach ar Imeachtaí na Féile Anseo Craolfar na físeáin ag na hamanna atá leagtha amach thíos. Dé hAoine, 8pm Físeán: Casadh na Taoide Dé Sathairn, 10am Scéal Dátheangach do Pháistí: Cruit an Dagda Dé Sathairn, 2pm Caint: Eilís Lavelle Dé Sathairn, 3pm Ceadal: Steve Cooney Dé Sathairn, 8pm Ceolchoirm Dé Domhnaigh, 2pm Siúlóid Fhíorúil: Conair Paul Henry Dé Domhnaigh, 3pm Caint: Simon Chadwick Dé Domhnaigh, 4pm Ceadal: Siobhán Armstrong Dé Domhnaigh, 8pm Ceolchoirm Fáilte Tá imeacht iontach ar líne curtha le chéile arís ag Féile Chruite Acla, deireadh seachtaine den scoth, an 22-24 Deireadh Fómhair 2021. Tá ríméad orainn go bhfuil réimse leathan de chomhshaothair cheoil agus tionscadail chultúrtha nuálacha le tabhairt againn daoibhse, ár gcairde ar fud na cruinne. Ní bheidh díomá orthu siúd a bhfuil grá acu don chruit, mar beidh ranganna teagaisc ar an gcruit againn do gach leibhéal ó scoth na gcruitirí. Ina theannta sin, tá taiscéaladh déanta againn ar lámhscríbhinní stairiúla chruit na hÉireann. I sraith de chainteanna, ceolchoirmeacha agus ceadail beidh breis eolais le foghlaim faoin gcruitire cáiliúil, Toirdhealbhach Ó Cearrbhalláin, agus faoin mbailitheoir ceoil, Bunting. Is cúis bhróid dúinn freisin saothar chruitire Mhaigh Eo, Hugh Higgins, a chur chun cinn i mbliana. Bhí Higgins ar dhuine de bhaill Fhéile Cruitirí Bhéal Feirtse in 1792. Ach, ar ndóigh, ní bhaineann an fhéile leis an gcruit amháin. Tá ócáid ann do gach duine. Caith súil ar na ceolchoirmeacha, ceadail agus cainteanna iontacha a bheidh ar siúl. Ná caill scéal Chruit an Dagda, bí linn ar shiúlóid fhíorúil Paul Henry agus go leor, leor eile! Mar chuid lárnach d’fhéile na bliana seo, tá an tionscadal dar teideal Casadh na Taoide. Bhí an t-aistear iontach cultúrtha seo, ar Húicéir na Gaillimhe, dírithe ar phobail a athcheangal ar chúig oileán amach ó chósta thiar na hÉireann: Inis Bó Finne (Gaillimh), Inis Toirc, Cliara, Acaill (Maigh Eo) agus Árainn Mhór (Dún na nGall). Sa scannán a d’eascair as an tionscadal seo, tarraingítear aird ar na hoileáin seo, agus ar a gcultúr agus oidhreacht chomhroinnte. Cuireann Féile Chruite Acla fáilte chroíúil roimh ár lucht féachana fud fad na cruinne le haghaidh ceiliúradh ar líne eile de cheol agus cultúr. Tá súil againn an bhliain seo chugainn, 2022, bliain na cruite, go mbeidh mórán agaibh in ann bheith anseo linn ar Oileán Acla le haghaidh fhéile bheo! Ealaíontóirí Casadh na Taoide Rinne Féile Chruite Acla an tionscadal seo a choimisiúnú. Turas iontach cultúrtha ag athcheangal pobal ar chúig oileán amach ó chósta thiar na hÉireann trí cheol, amhráin agus scéalta. Níos luaithe i mbliana, thug Húicéir na Gaillimhe, an Mac Duach, cuairt ar Inis Bó Finne (Gaillimh), Inis Toirc, Cliara, Oileán Acla (Maigh Eo) agus Árainn Mhór (Dún na nGall). Ar bord bhí na Stiúrthóirí Ealaíne, Laoise Kelly agus Diarmuid Gielty, agus Bainisteoir an Tionscadail, Freda Nic Giolla Chatháin. Ag taisteal idir na hoileáin bhuail ár ngrúpa le ceoltóirí, le healaíontóirí agus le scéalaithe, chomh maith le mórán de charachtair iontacha na n-oileán. Bhailigh siad scéalta na hoidhreachta agus an chultúir chomhroinnte, agus iad ag súil go gcruthófar ceangail nua do thodhchaí chomhroinnte. Clár Dé hAoine - 22 Deireadh Fómhair Casadh na Taoide Tugann an físeán seo le Heavy Man Films anam an tionscadail leis, ag díriú go sonrach ar ealaíontóirí roghnaithe as gach oileán, ina measc Andrew Murray (Inis Bó Finne), Cathy O’Toole (Inis Toirc), Beth Moran (Cliara), Proinsias Mac a’ Bhaird (Árainn Mhór) agus Mary Lavelle Burke (Acaill). Arna mhaoiniú ag an gComhairle Ealaíon. Dé Sathairn - 23 Deireadh Fómhair Ar fáil an deireadh seachtaine ar fad Ranganna Teagaisc agus Ceardlanna Réamhthaifeadta Ranganna Cruite Ar Líne Sraith Ranganna Teagaisc do Ghlantosaitheoirí – Úna Ní Fhlannagáin Meánleibhéal – Laoise Kelly, Eilís Lavelle, Gráinne Hambly Ardleibhéal – Laoise Kelly, Michael Rooney, Séamus Ó Flatharta, Aisling Lyons Amharcléiriú Geoimeitreach – Ceardlann ar Chomhcheol – Steve Cooney Ag baint úsáide as an gcóras um Amharcléiriú Geoimeitreach de cheol, a forbraíodh breis agus 30 bliain ó shin chun nodaireacht agus ríomh an cheoil a shimpliú: rithim, séis agus comhcheol. Tá sé dírithe ar luathfhoghlaimeoirí agus orthu siúd a bhfuil deacracht acu cliathnodaireacht a léamh. Díreoidh an cheardlann seo ar ríomh scálaí agus modhanna, agus ríomh agus cleachtadh an chomhcheoil bhunúsaigh. Scéal Dátheangach do Pháistí: Cruit an Dagda Ba é an Dagda taoiseach Thuatha Dé Danann, agus bhí mórán earraí draíochtúla aige, ach ba é an ceann ba luachmhaire ná Uaithne, a chruit. Sa scéal draíochtúil, dátheangach seo, insítear an scéal dúinn faoin méid a tharla nuair a ghoid na Fomhóraigh cruit an Dagda. Tugann scrolla maisithe álainn ‘crankie’ beocht don scéal agus iompraítear an lucht féachana siar chuig am ársa atá caite. Léaráid: Pamela Gray, Ceol: Laoise Kelly, Scéalaí: Martán Ó Mongáin Caint: Edward Bunting i Lámhscríbhinn & i gCló Díríonn an cur i láthair seo le Eilís Lavelle ar fhorbairt dhá fhonn ceoil ar leith a fuarthas i lámhscríbhinní neamhfhoilsithe – Molly McAlpin agus Fanny Power. Baintear úsáid as an dá phíosa ceoil seo mar shamplaí chun léargas a thabhairt ar an stíl a bhí ag Bunting chun píosaí ceoil a athrú ar mhaithe lena chuid foilseachán. Féachfar ar an difríocht idir nodaireachtaí sna lámhscríbhinní agus na leaganacha a d’fhoilsigh Bunting.
