Léirítear urraim ag Gradaim bhliantúla Ghradam Ceoil, ar a dtugtar ‘gradaim Oscar an cheoil thraidisiúnta’ freisin, do cheoltóirí a bhfuil an ceol traidisiúnta tugtha chun cinn, neartaithe agus caomhnaithe in Éirinn acu.

I’m an 82 year old Irishman living in Perth, Western Australia, and a former Champion Irish Dancer, and all I can say is this music is absolutely fabulous. Lovely combination of instruments and all brilliantly played.
