The CD Le Cuidiú Dé is a compilation of 14 new songs in Irish with lyrics by Eilín Ní Bhaoill. It is the culmination of the untiring work of Eilín Ní Bhaoill and Maighread Hanlon who felt that traditional music, especially music through the Irish language, offered a fresh and innovative way of raising funds for Donegal Hospice Homecare. All proceeds from the sale of the CD will go directly to this worthy cause. Le Cuidiú Dé will be available to buy in many retail outlets in Co. Donegal and is available to pre-order on this website.
Professional artists and popular local talents were approached and all agreed to offer their services totally free of charge. Daniel O'Donnell is recording a song in Irish for the first time and other artists include Moya Brennan (Clannad), Donegal Person of the Year Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh (Altan and T with the Maggies) and Aoife Ní Fhearraigh to name but a few. Please see here for a complete list of artists and more information about the songs they have recorded. We would also like to thank Peermusic UK, Ltd., and Universal Music AS, for kind permission to translate You Raise Me Up which was originally written by Brendan Graham and for its gratis use for this project.
The Le Cuidiú Dé Launch will take place in Aislann Rann na Feirste on the 10th of December at 8.30pm. This exciting event will include the official launch of the CD, refreshments and musical entertainment by "Blonderbrau".
Please share this information with all of you contacts by email, Facebook, Twitter, or any other way that would help spread the word.
