Gráinne Holland in conversation with the singer Claire Nic Ruairí.

Labhraíonn Claire Nic Ruairí le Gráinne Holland faoin áit atá ag an cheol ina saol. Claire Nic Ruairí tells Gráinne Holland about the importance of music in her life.

Sa chlár seo, cluinimid ó Chlaire Nic Ruairí faoin dóigh a d'aistrigh sí ón stíl chlasaiceach go stíl an tseán-nóis. Ar chuidigh an traenáil chlasaiceach a fuair sí agus í ag toiseacht amach ar an seán-nós? Labhraíonn sí fosta faoin taithí atá aici ag ceol le cóir agus an tionchar a bhí ag muintir Thír Chonaill ar a cuid ceoil. Beidh Claire i measc na n-iomaitheoirí i gcomórtas Chorn Uí Riada na bliana seo ag Oireachtas na Samhna agus beidh deis agat éisteacht léi i bun ceoil ar an chlár seo.

We hear from Claire Nic Ruairí about how she went from classical music to a sean-nós style of singing. Did her classical training help her when she was starting out learning the seán-nós style? She also talks about her experience of singing with various choirs over the years and how her music has been influenced by her time in Donegal. Claire will be competing in Corn Uí Riada at this year's Oireachtas na Samhna and there is a chance to hear some of her beautiful singing.
