00:00...and the Gaeli were very rich.
00:01Not even though they were in the end of the day,
00:04but at the end of the day,
00:06at 3 hours,
00:07and the village of the village of the village in the village,
00:10they would love to make a little more
00:13and more fun to have the day.
00:30My name is Nathanael.
00:34I'm Nathanael.
00:36My name is Nathanael.
00:40I'm Hathanael.
00:42I'm in the midst of the rest of the world.
00:46I've been in the midst of this life.
00:50It's a bit of a long time for me.
00:52And it's a bit of a long time for me.
00:55I'm in the midst of this life.
00:57...and I've been able to learn songs in my own language.
01:27I want to understand how this land, with all its wildness and isolation, help preserve
01:37not just music, but memory and identity.
01:42Cotlíní Cúalán is the first person to guide me, the beginning of a journey into the rich
01:48and resilient song traditions of this gorgeous place.
01:57Cotlíní Cúalán is the first person to guide me, the journey into the past.
02:07Just beautiful.
02:08I know not only do you sing and have learned to pass on, I know you're so passionate.
02:14But you're so, you've really, you've studied, you've delved, you've spent a lifetime, you
02:21know, not just learning the songs, but learning about them.
02:26I feel it's a gift and I feel that it's not really mine,
02:32that it's something to give forward.
02:34So that's why kind of it's so it's just so important to me that the kids,
02:42you know, learn it and are absorbed in it, which they are, which is great.
02:48Let's pass along.
02:49You know, if if they were just sung in houses.
02:51They're they'd probably die, you know, so it's important that there are competitions,
02:59that they're that they get the stages because that's really what's keeping them alive.
03:07Like, for example, Radio the Gaeilthachta 1972 started broadcasting
03:13Seánle songs, started collecting interviews, going around to singers, musicians,
03:21and collected all the stuff.
03:24And thank God we have all that stuff in Radio the Gaeilthachta today that we,
03:29it's a reference and it's also something that's very, very valuable.
03:36In 1926, it was announced in the Dáil that the government were contemplating
03:41a radio service for the Gaeilthachta areas.
03:43In 1943, at the request of a then Taoiseach,
03:46a committee was set up to examine the possibility of setting up a Gaeilthachta radio service.
03:51The committee reported that the difficulties at that time were almost unsurmountable.
03:56Two years ago, Seánle Radio the Gaeilthachta, a pirate radio station,
03:59went on the air for a week here in the Gaeilthachta.
04:02And today, at three o'clock, Radio the Gaeilthachta went on the air for the new studios in Berené.
04:09Radio the Gaeilthachta and Seánle,
04:11and I'm here today.
04:12I'm here today.
04:13I'm here today.
04:14I'm here today.
04:15I'm here today.
04:16I'm here today.
04:17I'm here today.
04:18I'm here today.
04:19I'm here today.
04:49This is the first time this song was aired on Radio the Gaeilthachta,
04:59and one of the first Connemara songs that were aired on the service.
05:05You know, for kids, you've been able to hear what was before,
05:10and it's just stories, and you can kind of connect.
05:13Yeah, and straight away, you're connected.
05:15Yeah.
05:16Like, straight away, you're listening to a conversation that happened in 1972,
05:21and you're there.
05:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:23For me, on this quest, if you like, to be able to understand more,
05:27you know, who we are as an island, as a people,
05:32the archive is a huge part to play in that, you know?
05:35Oh, yeah, huge, huge.
05:37It just gives you a picture of what came before you and what you came from.
05:46This is actually my dad there.
05:48Oh, let me have a look.
05:49Ah, look.
05:50This is the only recording that he...
05:52Well, that's the only CD.
05:53CD?
05:54Yeah.
05:55Yeah.
05:56God, isn't that so lovely to have?
05:57Yeah, it's brilliant.
05:58Yeah.
05:59He recorded that when he was 80.
06:00When he was 80?
06:01Yeah.
06:02Good man.
06:03On that note of, you know, what we can get from the archive,
06:08I came across this.
06:11I'd heard it as a child, but I came across it in the archive here.
06:15It was for Toastallagallibh, that was a Corrach racing and festival
06:20that used to happen in Galway City in the 50s.
06:24So this is my dad now in, I think it was 1972.
06:26I was born in Galway City.
06:55Oh, that's a gem.
06:57I know.
06:59So, can you translate?
07:01So, it's time for you to come to young fellas.
07:08Little and big.
07:10Come to young women.
07:13And may you be all jolly.
07:16Come for the sport.
07:19The dancing and the singing.
07:21Drink and music.
07:23And my blessing forever on the festival.
07:29Isn't that?
07:30What a beautiful chorus.
07:32When you sing,
07:34when you sing,
07:36when you sing,
07:38when you sing,
07:40when you sing,
07:42when you sing,
07:44when you sing,
07:46when you sing,
07:48when you sing,
07:50when you sing,
07:52when you sing,
07:55when you sing,
07:56when you sing,
07:57when you sing.
07:58Can we sing,
07:59when you sing?
08:00Yeah.
08:01I love that I learned that from you and your dad.
08:22Thanks for that.
09:11Each place I go to, I'm getting a different story and more information.
09:18I want to hear from all generations, from young and old.
09:25Because this language, you know, it's an ancient language.
09:30But our language is for now as well and for future generations.
09:34I've been traveling around meeting the most amazing people.
09:46But I know you do a huge amount in obviously within your own self and your talents and what you do.
09:52But in passing that along, is it because of how you learned?
09:57I think so.
09:58So the tradition in a way is very, that idea of preserving is very important, which can be sometimes problematic when you're trying to create.
10:09But I think that there's a space there now where, you know, there's a bit more movement with this.
10:14And it's not, you know, it's not as closed as people might think, you know.
10:20Anyone can learn. Anyone can learn. Anyone, you know, is allowed to learn.
10:24There's like, there's a kind of, the goiltacht idea can be problematic.
10:28It was essential to preserve the language.
10:31But it also separates, you know, and it's really, really important to constantly create linkages between people.
10:40And it really belongs to everybody.
10:42That's what I love about the younger generation coming up is they have decided to have their own conversation in their own way.
10:50And it just opens up so many different spaces.
10:53It's not black and white. It's not this or that.
10:56There's so many different ways for this to happen and for this to, you know, for the language to continue.
11:04It's different in every language and every language, it doesn't matter where in the world it is, you know, has a place and has a perspective.
11:13And it's connected to humanity.
11:15And that's why these songs and this language and, you know, where I'm from, that's why that's so important to me.
11:21But everyone has their own way of getting to that.
11:24And it's the same for you. You're on your journey to get to where you need to go with all of that.
11:30It's just opening. It's just opening it all out.
11:33That's gorgeous.
11:34That's beautiful.
11:36That's gorgeous.
11:37That's beautiful.
11:40which was quite a bit messy.
11:42Now, for the sake of the show,
11:44we always have to know more about it.
11:47Here's a mix of the蹴り.
11:51I wanted to know that I can't understand much about it.
11:56But, yeah.
11:58And I'm sure I've been here in the next year.
12:00I think this is the only way you have been able to get
12:03to learn more about the traditional tradition,
12:07He works for an lydin film to study.
12:14Well done, Seamus. I am delighted you could come.
12:17Tell me about how you feel about it, as it's been called old style,
12:21and what that means to you, if it's something in the past,
12:25or if it's something that's quite alive for you.
12:29Yeah, that word old would indicate that it belongs in the past
12:33and that it was something that was done
12:34and that it's kind of just being recreated or tapped into in current day.
12:40But I think it's been proven that it's very much still alive
12:43and very much current in the 21st century
12:46and that people are now starting to innovate with it
12:49and never damaging the tradition or never trying to change it,
12:53but introducing it into what society is like now today.
12:58My point of view is that if we're told that tradition belongs in the past,
13:02you have to do it the way it was done then
13:04and you're not allowed to add to that tradition,
13:06what's that to say for the next generation that are to come
13:09or the generation after them?
13:11Is it going to be a living tradition?
13:13I do feel like there's that kind of an opinion about the Irish language
13:17or about Irish traditional music or Sianna singing
13:20that it's very much something that you need to be born into
13:22or you need to have it in some capacity in your bloodline
13:26or you need to go to Connemara or you need to go to Gwydhóir
13:29in order to really feel it.
13:31And to a certain degree, I think that helps definitely
13:34if you want to learn about it and you want to feel it,
13:36you need to go to where it's most alive.
13:38That's a great point.
13:40Yeah, I don't think it should ever be exclusive.
13:45I don't think it should ever belong to certain folk
13:47and not belong to anyone else
13:48because it's folk music at the end of the day.
13:50It belongs to the people.
13:53Do you fancy picking a song or two?
13:54Why not?
13:55I suppose when we're talking so much about how it's rooted in our area.
14:00So it's a famine song that was written about the village of Cairna,
14:04which is only about 10 minutes west of us.
14:06But basically it's addressing Johnny Shoiga, Johnny Joyce,
14:09who was head of the soup kitchens at the time.
14:11And it's written as a kind of a plamos,
14:15a fake praise of this mighty Johnny Joyce
14:17who has the power to turn people away,
14:19almost like a way to get at him through song and through verse.

17:36It doesn't seem as high a mountain.
17:39There's a way.
17:42Cotlén has kindly agreed to teach me a song
17:44in the rich Connemara tradition of Shannos.
17:47This will be my very first time tackling a piece
17:50with such complex language and intricate ornamentation,
17:54very typical of this area.
17:56I'm incredibly nervous about this one,
17:58but also really, really looking forward to learning.
18:01It's a song that I've ever seen.
18:06I've never seen a song that I've ever seen.
18:10I've never seen a song that I've ever seen.
18:14I've never seen a song that I've ever seen.
18:17Yeah, that one. That's the one.
18:19Go on, tell me about...
18:20She's in bed.
18:21Yeah.
18:22And she has...
18:23I've called she a clue.
18:25She...
18:26He had his way with her.
18:28And now she's with child probably.
18:31Mm-hmm.
18:32And so she's in bed sick
18:35and hoping and praying every day
18:38that he will come to ask her
18:43and that he'll bring the priest
18:46and that they'll be married
18:47and that they'll be happy every after.
18:48But it...
18:49Yeah.
18:50It's...
18:51I kind of like the ones that the women were kind of...
18:54Yeah.
18:55You know.
18:56I kind of feel the pain
18:58that they could...
18:59You know.
19:00It's just the broken hearted, the hurt, the...
19:02You know.
19:03And it still happens.
19:05You know, it's just the story of life.
19:06It's the story.
19:07The story of people.
19:08Yeah.
19:09You know.
19:10But...
19:11That's beautiful.
19:12So there we go.
19:13It's pulling at you.
19:14It's pulling at the heart strings.
19:16Yeah.
19:17Yeah.
19:18Yeah.
19:19Yeah.
19:20Yeah.
19:22...
19:41Yeah.
