The TV programme from the renowned radio series (BBC Radio nan Gaidheal, Raidio na Gaeltachta). http://www.rte.ie/rnag/sruthnamaoile.html Both separated and united by the Sea of Moyle, the nations of Ireland and Scotland have long shared rich cultural traditions that are still evolving today. A major link between these two cultures is their common use of the Gaelic language and the subject matter of their traditional songs. A radio program of the same name has gained popularity over the past many years and has effortlessly made the transition to television in this series. The six episodes of Sruth Na Maoile celebrate the musical traditions of these passionate people in a festive display of Celtic music and culture. Each episode is beautifully filmed on location .. sometimes at the homes of musicians Dougie MacLeod in Dunkeld (Scotland) or at Alex Finn's castle home in Galway (Ireland).
