>>> CULTURE NIGHT HIGHLIGHTS ON RT
SPECIAL RT BROADCAST LIVE FROM GALWAY
RT Culture Night Live will broadcast live at 8.00pm on RT One and RTE Player. Coming to you from the heart of Galway City, the programme, hosted by Carl Mullan and Doireann N Ghlac in will feature a vibrant mix of musical performances live from the historic St. Nicholas' Collegiate Church, alongside events taking place nationwide.
The line-up features the all-female trad group Biird, this year's Culture Night Ambassadors, and a cultural reflection from President Higgins. Viewers can look forward to the Top 8 Streetdance Battle dance troupe showcasing electrifying dance exchanges at King John's Castle (pictured), Limerick, while Anna Geary will be giving us flavour of Culture Night activities from Cork City.
Celebrating our architectural heritage for Culture Night, Amanda Bone takes us inside 18 Ormond Quay Upper, a beautifully restored 1840s Dublin merchant shop-house, brought back to life after a three-year conservation project by Dublin Civic Trust.
NATIONWIDE on RT ONE and RT PLAYER
On this Culture Night, Nationwide celebrates theatre, music, and all kinds of cultural gatherings. The team travels to the coastal town of Balbriggan in North County Dublin to explore what is one of Ireland's finest new theatres. They hear about some of the many Culture Night events planned both locally and across the country and presenter Anne Cassin talks to Sinead O'Reilly from The Arts Council, to learn more about this annual celebration of arts, heritage and culture.
The Lark Concert Hall in Balbriggan County Dublin is a unique new music venue. Made possible through a generous act of philanthropy, no expense was spared in bringing this vision to life. The facility includes a concert hall, a music school and accommodation for visiting musicians. Reporter John Kilraine has the story behind this project.
Also on the show, reporter Zainab Boladale recently spent the day in Balbriggan, meeting local groups as they prepared for Culture Night.
