An tseachtain seo téann John go Muineachán, áit a mbuaileann sé leis an bhanna Dysania agus faigheann sé freagraí ar cad as ar tháinig ainm an ghrúpa agus an stíl cheoil shainiúil atá acu a mheascann rap, rac agus uirlisí traidisiúnta.

Ansin go Tír Chonaill linn agus déanann an ceoltóir áitiúil Conor Ó Gallchóir cur síos ar na heachtraí a thug ar Niall Mac Giolla Bhrighde an t-amhrán ‘An Trucailín Donn’ a scríobh. Cluineann muid Mary Coughlan ag Féile Stendhal, agus tugann Lonesome George faoi amhrán nua-chumtha ‘Deas an Saol le Brí.’

This week John heads for Monaghan, where he meets Dysania to find out where they got their name and their distinctive sound, which mixes rap, rock and traditional instruments. Then it's on to Donegal, where singer Conor Ó Gallachóir explains why songwriter Niall McBride wrote An Trucailín Donn.

Mary Coughlan performs at the Stendhal Festival, and Lonesome George perform new song Deas an Saol le Brí. Show less
