CLARE MUSICIANS, Siobhán Peoples and Áine Hensey have been named recipients of Gradam Ceoil TG4 2025 awards.

Now in its 28th year, Gradam Ceoil TG4 continues to honour the absolute best in performance and cultural impact across seven categories. The recipients of Gradam Ceoil TG4 2025 have been officially unveiled at a special event held at Iveagh House Dublin, marking another milestone in the celebration of Ireland’s rich traditional music heritage.

Ennis fiddler Siobhán Peoples has been named ‘Musician of the Year 2025’ and Miltown Malbay’s Áine Hensey have been announced as recipient of the ‘Outstanding Contribution’ awardee.

The selection process is carried out by an independent panel of previous awardees and leading figures in the traditional music community. Gradam Ceoil TG4 not only acknowledges artistic excellence but also amplifies the success of the recipients by bringing their music, song, and dance to global audiences through TG4’s extensive broadcasting platforms.

This year, the awards’ global reach is further amplified by collaboration with Ireland at Expo 2025. Gradam Ceoil TG4 and its 2025 honourees will feature in Ireland’s programming at the upcoming World Expo in Osaka, Japan.

The Gradam Ceoil TG4 2025 concert and award ceremony will take place at the University Concert Hall, Limerick, on Sunday, 4 May. This highly anticipated event will be broadcast live on TG4 and worldwide via the TG4 Player, offering audiences the chance to experience an unforgettable night of music, celebration, and entertainment. The honourees will be joined by an array of special musical guests and presenters for this prestigious occasion.

Proinsias Ní Ghráinne, Commissioning Editor of Gradam Ceoil TG4 stated that “we are proud to be able to honour such excellence through Gradam and celebrate with artists who are shaping the future of our music, song and dance.
