Great news for Bláthú members!
Ciorcal - a series of videos demonstrating whole ringtimes as Gaeilge, with songs, verses, finger games for the months of January to June are now available on the "Resources for Members" pages of our website.
Along with the videos, which feature long-serving kindergarten teacher Marguerite Devane, there are downloadable pdfs with the Irish lyrics, a pronunciation guide for those not so confident in the language, and a translation into English.
