    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.

All things BLOOMSDAY
David Keenan, Kathleen Fee, Mary Walsh, Richard Harte



David Keenan - Joyce's City A night time odyssey through Dublin in the mind of David Keenan. In a city that is constantly changing and evolving, he reflects on a place that is obsessed with the "new", while growing increasingly sentimental about the past. 
A Poetry / Film collaboration with Luke De Brún will be screened at this year's Bloomsday Film Festival. Thanks to the James Joyce Centre for asking me to write this piece, inspired by the city as a concept and invocation. It will be screened the Irish Film Institute on the 15th of June


Kathleen Fee - Montreal Bloomsday 

40% of Québecers have some Irish ancestry. Honouring the history of Irish immigration to Montréal, the festival celebrates Irish Montréal, its culture and literature. Year after year, the Bloomsday Montréal Festival boosts local pride and community spirit, and raises awareness of the diversity and dynamism of culture and identity within our community. 

The exploration of a hard-won place for immigrants in the new Canadian culture threads through each year’s program. Talented artists and musicians, music, walking tours, films,documentaries, lectures and readings from Irish literature – especially Joyce’s Ulysses — show us how it really was and how Irish heritage shaped the city we know today. In this way, even as part of a larger international celebration, our Bloomsday is a uniquely Montréal event.

The largest Bloomsday festival in Canada with event-filled days that stretch over 5 to 6 days & brings down the curtain on Bloomsday itself — June 16. Over the years, festival-goers have come to enjoy an expanding variety of educational, cultural and social events. 

The first Bloomsday Montréal Festival was a three-day event held in June 2012. Administered by the McGill School for Continuing Studies, many key Montréal educational and cultural institutions participated in its first success.

Sharing a recording of James Joyce reading an extract from Ulysses.


Mary Walsh - Ottawa Bloomsday 
To celebrate Bloomsday, readings from Ulysses by Mary Walsh and the James Joyce Association of Ottawa Mary Walsh: Open Book was a weekly book club series on CBC Television, which aired from 2002 to 2005. Similar to Oprah's Book Club, the series was hosted by actress and comedian Mary Walsh, who moderated a discussion about books and literature with a panel of celebrities and other guests. 


Open Book included James Joyce's Dubliner's in one episode. We chat with Mary about her love of Joyce and how it influences her work.
