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.

Paul Curley - Polar Bear and Penguin tells the tale of an improbable encounter between the two animals. The polar bear and penguin, very different characters, learn about each other and survival in a world melting away from them.
This contemporary fable is one full of humour, friendship, and (most importantly!) lots of fish.
Polar Bear & Penguin was originally developed by Paul Curley and Draíocht with the support of The Arts Council YPCE Project Award & Meitheal CPS – A Branar Initiative and is presented at Ottawa Children’s Festival de la jeunesse (OCF) with the generous support of Culture Ireland.
Eoin O Dubhghaill - Story of a Day
I’m awake I think… But what was it that woke me?
That tap tap on the window, that sliver of sun on the wall, my cold foot?
Or did my dream wake me?
So begins a music filled story of one child’s day that turns the ordinary into extraordinary with live music, vibrant storytelling and vivid animation.
Story of a Day – Scéal Lae is a live performance commissioned by Branar and performed by ConTempo Quartet in a collaboration between Branar and Galway Music Residency. Words and illustrations by renowned children’s author Mary Murphy and original score by award winning composer Tom Lane.
Cian O Grady, Kayleigh & Caoimhe Moran: Diurmuid Murphy - Tulua
TULUA are a traditional Irish fusion band hailing from the southeast of Ireland. Meaning ‘Becoming More‘, TULUA have been deeply exploring and sharing their music which has achieved them national and international success. Since their EP release in 2020 they have played around the world, at festivals such as Milwaukee Irish Fest, La Crosse Irish Fest, Temple Bar Tradfest, Kilkenny Tradfest, Phil Murphy Weekend, and supporting renown acts such as Atlantic Arc, Fergal Scahill & Ryan Molloy, Cormac Begley, and many more, whilst also exclusively performing to their sold out concerts in the National Opera House. They have been on shows such as the internationally successful ‘Ireland with Michael’ which premiers on PBS and also appear regularly on radio stations across the country and have been shortlisted in Hot Press’ ‘Irish Music of the Month’ in 2021.
Through their involvement within the traditional Irish music world, TULUA discovered a strong passion for bringing traditional tunes and songs to the forefront of fusion and to explore the possibilities within their roots. They carefully blend this with other genres to create a sound unique to them with many describing their music as ‘beautifully mystical‘ and ‘full of driving energy‘. They look forward to sharing their musical journey with everyone as they explore and express the possibilities within Irish traditional music.
