The acclaimed music documentary series Ceolaireacht returns to TG4 for a fourth season, set to begin airing on TG4 this Sunday, March 8 at 9:30pm.

Presented by renowned fiddle player, singer and broadcaster Doireann Ní Ghlacáin, the new instalment will see the musician travel to Tyrone, East Galway, South Dublin and North Kerry, exploring vibrant traditional music scenes beyond the well-known strongholds of West Clare, Sliabh Luachra and Donegal.
