From 2.00-3.00pm, Fiachna 'Braon in will bring you The RT Concert Orchestra Presents: New Irish Recordings, which will showcase both new writing and new orchestral arrangements from three artists making music today that uniquely explores the Irishness of each. The RT Concert Orchestra brings us new recordings of music from The Lost Brothers' acclaimed 2020 album After the Fire, After the Rain; brand new music inspired by the women of revolution of 100 years ago by songwriter Karan Casey; and a new interpretation of traditional pieces by musician and composer Saileog N Cheannabh in, with Ailbhe Nic Dhonncha and P draic Keane. Fiachna will be joined on air by the artists for some background and context to the music chosen for interpretation by the Concert Orchestra.

After midday, An Saol Dheas will be broadcasting live from the parade in B al tha an Ghaorthaidh in the Cork Gaeltacht.
