SCARIFF BAY COMMUNITY RADIO presenters are headed for the hills while others will get to soak up a feast of traditional music.

This Thursday evening (May 18th), Scariff GAA is joining forces with Scariff Bay Community Radio for a night of traditional music. Ceol Cóis Gréine will present the concert titles ‘East Clare Legacy’ and will feature Clí Donnellan, Brid O’Gorman, Liam Flanagan and Michael Landers.

Taking place at the Derg Active Alliance Theatre from 8pm, tickets are available for €10 from Rodger’s Centra in Scariff, from GAA officers and volunteers with the community radio station. Funds raised will go towards both the GAA club and Scariff Bay Community Radio.

On Sunday afternoon, Scariff Bay will broadcast ‘A Hike on the Hills’ which is a detailed look at the popular 12 O’Clock Hills. Pat O’Brien, David Fleming and Anthony Lenihan learn about the history of the recreational and heritage project which opened as a looped walk facility in September 2014.

They commence their journey at the Belvoir car park where they meet committee members John Lenihan and John Lyons to learn about the project’s inception, how the name came about and the history of its inhabitants.

Wind, rain and sunshine were all encountered as the trio made their way up the hill, respites were had at Crag Bridge, the stepping stones and Fairyland along the way. They also stopped off at the Sunyata Buddhist Centre.

Sunday’s show will be broadcast on Scariff Bay Community Radio at 3pm and will then be available on all podcast platforms.
