Tá tar éis sosa, tá Sult ag teacht ar ais arís! Beidh an chéad ócáid ar siúl Déardaoin, 23 Aibreán 2009, in ionad nua: ThinkTank (thíos staighre sa Mezz), beagnach os comhair an IFI, Sráid an Iústásaigh, Barra an Teampaill, Baile Átha Cliath 2. Osclófar na doirse ar 9.00 p.m. agus tosóidh an ceol beo gan mhoill ina dhiaidh sin.

Cuirfidh grúpa tí Sult tús le siamsaíocht na hoíche agus go luath tar éis 10.00 p.m.
beidh ceol, amhráin agus filíocht le cloisteáil ó chuid de rannpháirtithe Chuairt na bhFilí Albanacha, Sineag Nic an t-Saoir agus Colla MacDhòmhnaill ina measc.

Gan mhoill ina dhiaidh sin, canfaidh beirt amhránaithe ón albam Ceol ’09, Fiach agus Shane Ó Fearghail, dhá amhrán an duine. Beidh an t-albam féin ar díol san ionad ar an oíche.

Níos déanaí san oíche, beidh an damhsóir óg sean-nóis as Baile Átha Cliath Sibéal Davitt le feiceáil. Tá stíl shuaithinseach dá cuid féin ag Sibéal agus an-suim aici sa damhsa nua-aimseartha chomh maith. Bhí sí le feiceáil go minic ar an teilifís le cúpla bliain anuas, ar chláracha mar ‘The Late Late Show’ agus ‘Ardán’.

“Tá an-áthas orm go bhfuil Sult ag filleadh arís,” arsa Éamonn Ó Dónaill, duine de lucht bunaithe an chlub. “Tá géarghá le himeacht rialta mar seo i mBaile Átha Cliath ag ar féidir le daoine bualadh le chéile agus an Ghaeilge a labhairt. Beidh Sult deich mbliana ar an fhód i mí Dheireadh Fómhair agus táimid ag súil go mór leis an chéad deich mbliana eile! Tá géarchéim gheilleagrach sa tír faoi láthair ach geallaimid go bhfaighidh an lucht éisteachta ag imeacht na seachtaine seo chugainn luach a gcuid airgid. Agus an pionta is saoire i mBarra an Teampaill!

“Is cúis áthais an-mhór dúinn go bhfuil deis againn a bheith ag comhoibriú le Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge agus le Seachtain na Gaeilge agus an chéad oíche seo á heagrú. Tá sé mar sprioc an-lárnach againn leanúint le comhoibriú den chineál seo sna blianta atá romhainn.”

Cead isteach: €7 (€5)

Tá eolas breise le fáil faoi Sult ach glaoch ar (01) 675-3658.

Faigheann Sult tacaíocht airgid ó Fhoras na Gaeilge (www.gaeilge.ie).

Having taken a short break, Club Sult is returning! The first event will be held next Thursday, 23 April, in a new venue: ThinkTank (downstairs in the Mezz), almost opposite the IFI, Eustace St, Temple Bar, Dublin 2. The doors will open at 9.00 p.m. and the live entertainment will begin shortly afterwards.

The night’s entertainment will start with the Sult house band and shortly after 10.00 p.m. there will be music, song and poetry from some of those taking part in Cuairt na bhFilí Albanacha (The Scottish Poets’ Visit), including Sineag Nic an tSaoir and Colla MacDhómhnaill.

Shortly afterwards, two singers from the Ceol ’09 album, Fiach and Shane Ó Fearghail, will sing two songs each. This album, released for Seachtain na Gaeilge, will be on sale on the night at a reduced price.

Later in the night, young Dublin sean-nós dancer Sibéal Davitt will perform. Sibéal has a very distinctive style of dance and is also an accomplished modern dancer. In recent years she has made many television appearances, on programmes such as ‘The Late Late Show’ and ‘Ardán’.

“I’m delighted that Sult is returning,” says Éamonn Ó Dónaill, one of the club’s founders. “There is a need for a regular event like this in Dublin, where people can meet and speak Irish. Sult will be 10 years in existence this October and we’re really looking forward to the next ten years! Despite the recession, we can promise that our audience will get great value for money at next week’s event, and the cheapest pint in Temple Bar!

“We’re delighted to have the opportunity to collaborate with Comhdháil Náisiúnta na Gaeilge and

Na amhráin is fearr linn, 'Baidín Fheilimí', 'An Maidrín Rua', 'An Poc ar Buile' agus neart eile ar fáil ar an albam eisceachtúil seo, taifeadta go fíorálainn ag John Spillane agus a chairde le cabhair ón rang ceoil sa Chéad bhliain i nGaelcholáiste Choilm, Baile an Chollaigh, Co. Chorcaí agus a múinteoir Catherine Frost.

Is albam draíochtúil é a bheadh ar fheabhas mar bhronntanas dóibh siúd atá cumhach faoina laethanta óige. Is áis iontach múinteoireachta é chomh maith agus a chabhróidh na hamhráin a choimeád lárnach i gcroí ár gcultúr leis na glúine romhainn!

Más maith leat an deis ceann de na trí albaim atá againn le tabhairt amach a bhuachaint, freagair an cheist seo: Cén amhrán a chasann John Spillane ar an albam nua Ceol 09? Seol do fhreagra, ainm, seoladh and uimhir trí ríomhphost go eolas@snag.ie Spriocdháta ná Aoine, 17ú Aibreán 2009.
