Featuring Róisín Seoighe X IMLÉ & Jessie Dingle

Tá clú agus cáil tuillte ag Taylor Swift ar go leor cúiseanna. Tá bua na cumadóireachta aici, gan amhras, agus í thar a bheith cumasach ag insint scéalta grá: an lúcháir, an briseadh croí agus an meascán mearaí a bhaineann le grá na ndéagóirí; an bhá a bhí aici lena máthair nuair a buaileadh tinn í; amhráin ghreannmhara faoi dhíoltas a bhaint amach ar lucht a cáinte; na fuaimdhreacha áille in folklore agus evermore agus na beathaisnéisí atá fite fuaite ina chéile i mbaile beag Meiriceánach.

Is é atá in SREANG DHOFHEICTHE  ná cnuasach speisialta dá cuid amhrán agus iad traschruthaithe i nGaeilge ag Gabriel Rosenstock agus Róisín Seoighe. Is iad Róisín Seoighe X IMLÉ agus Jessie Dingle a chuirfidh i láthair iad. Mar chuid den seó, beidh íomhánna ar scáileán le Margaret Lonergan.

SREANG DHOFHEICTHE is a special weave of songs from Taylor Swift’s critically acclaimed albums, folkore and evermore, with their intertwined narratives of life and love in a small American town.

Translated into Irish by Gabriel Rosenstock and Róisín Seoighe, the beautiful aural landscapes of these albums will be recreated live by Róisín Seoighe X IMLÉ. And expect some surprise greatest hits selections too from special guest Jessie Dingle! Lyrics on-screen with beautiful images created by artist Margaret Lonergan.
