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.

New clubs made up of non-native Irish people who have been drawn to, and inspired by Gaelic games is proof of the strengthening of these overseas roots.
The oneills .com GAA World Games is a chance to bring these regions together to celebrate their passion for our games and help them develop even further.

Ryan Young: New Album "In the Quiet After" produced by Martin Hayes
Ryan Young is a Scottish fiddle player working within the traditional music of Scotland. His playing is noted for its distinctive tone and phrasing, with an approach that places melody and expression at the centre of the music.
He first came to wider attention with his debut album, produced by four-time GRAMMY winner Jesse Lewis (Béla Fleck, Yo-Yo Ma), establishing the foundations of a career that has since developed an international reach. He has toured extensively across the UK, Europe, North America and Australia, and is recognised for a style that draws on both Scottish and Irish traditions.
“Ryan Young is an up and coming musician who is gaining more and more well deserved recognition.
I feel that he has the potential to make a very significant contribution to the Scottish tradition”
~ Martin Hayes
Produced by Martin Hayes, who also features on the record, alongside guitarists Louis Campbell (Sam Lee, Sam Sweeney) and Stuart MacCallum (The Breath, Cinematic Orchestra).
