    A SELECTION OF MUSIC, SONG AND CHAT

LISTEN NOW


Welcome to the Irish Radio Canada Website. We are proud to share our Internet Radio Station. In 2005 we commenced On-Air broadcasting with CHIN 97.9FM producing and presenting The Gaelic Hour as a weekly show. in Sept 2016 we launched this new format. You can now enjoy a selection of music every day and we will be able to expand on the number of hours of interviews, as time goes on. I would like to encourage you to submit your music selection and hopefully I can find what you like in my library. The Archives section of the site will continue to provide access to the Gaelic Hour shows since 2006. Twitter, Facebook page and group will become more relevant in communicating and I hope to increase the use of Instagram as time goes on. If you have some suggestions, please visit the contact page and send on your ideas. The 11 years on air have been fun, but the effort in raising the large sum required to buy the time has become more onerous and the online station offers the opportunity to increase content and reduce costs. You can listen to the station using a variety of tools. The player on this page may be the simplest. The links below provide additional choices of players. Also, you can use your Smart Speaker to ask Alexa or Google for "Irish Radio Canada from TuneIn" I hope you enjoy and continue to listen.

Austin.

Brendan Moher - Nine Ships 1825
The Peter Robinson Emigration of 1825 was a landmark initiative that brought nearly 2,000 Irish settlers to Canada, laying the foundation for what would become Nogojiwanong-Peterborough. This rare government experiment aimed to test the viability of British emigration policy by covering all expenses for settlers for 18 months. Each family’s journey and experiences have been meticulously documented, providing a rich archival resource.

As we mark the Bicentennial, we honour this chapter in Canadian history. The 1825 emigration not only shaped Nogojiwanong-Peterborough’s identity but also demonstrated the enduring spirit of community and collaboration. Join us in commemorating 200 years of heritage, resilience, and the diverse legacy that continues to define our region today.

In the early 1820s, Ireland was experiencing severe economic and social difficulties. The majority of the population lived in rural areas and relied heavily on subsistence farming, with the potato being the staple crop. The land was primarily controlled by absentee landlords, and many Irish families faced extreme poverty, inadequate housing, and food insecurity. The rapid population growth exacerbated these challenges, creating dire living conditions and little hope for improvement.

Ed Schroeter: "Crossing Over"
Crossing Over is the thrilling sequel to Tide of Hope and a compelling story being staged this month, just in time for the Bicentennial of the Peter Robinson Irish Emigration.

Commemorating the 200th anniversary of the arrival of 2,024 Irish settlers to our area, “Crossing Over” dramatizes the thrilling voyage of the emigrant transport ship, John Barry, the last of the nine Peter Robinson emigrant transport ships to depart Cobh Harbour on May 25, 1825.

The fundraiser, produced by Trent Valley Archives, is an exciting tale of storms, a near shipwreck, the misadventures of troubled teens, passenger rebellion, Irish ingenuity, and derring-do. Audiences will be immersed in a heartening story of courage and perseverance as the emigrants band together to overcome adversity. The drama’s message of hope is uplifting for these troubled times.

“Crossing Over” stars Eddy Sweeney and Abby Koshka as David & Mary Nagle; Nathan Govier and Robyn Hawthorne as Patrick & Elizabeth Ryan; Kaza Hesselink, Kalla Tahon, and Sianna Gaulton as the wayward teens Tim, Elinor, and Johanna; Lucas Pronk as Peter Robinson; Ashley Parker as Surgeon William Burnie, and Hugh Foley as narrator and seanchaí John Keleher.

The production includes a heavy component of lively traditional Irish music, performed by “Crossing Over” Musical Director Michael Ketemer, backed by the “Crossing Over Chorus”: : Vocal Director Elaine Day (Mrs. Owens), Lucas Pronk (Mr. Hagerty), Justin O’Brien (Captain Peter Roche), Zoe Shufelt (Frances Young), Adrianna Malloy (Eliza Young), Lily Faulkner (Honora Young), and Cathy Brand (Catherine Hagerty).


Drew Mills Director of “Crossing Over”
Drew has directed multiple shows in Peterborough – mostly focusing on musicals and children’s shows. Most notably, Drew co-directed Shrek the Musical in 2018 and produced or directed the prior five Spring shows as the Spring Show Coordinator for the St. James Players. He has also directed with the Peterborough Theatre Guild and acted with companies like the Anne Shirley Theatre Company (as Paul in Theory of Relativity), Cordwainer Productions (as Ernst in Spring Awakening), the St James Players (as Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz), and with the Trent Valley Archives Theatre (as David in Tide of Hope). In 2018, Drew suffered 4 acquired brain injuries and has only acted in shows since. After a long hiatus, he wants to get back into directing to provide the community with the quality of shows he has learned to foster.
