RTÉ invites submissions for TG4 programming 2020-2021 under "Cláracha Gaeilge – Traditional Irish Music Series” and “Cláracha Gaeilge – New Year’s Eve Celebration”categories.
1. "Cláracha Gaeilge – Traditional Irish Music Series”
RTÉ and TG4 is seeking proposals for a traditional Irish Music Series for TG4 to be broadcast in the Traditional Irish music slot at 21:30pm on Sunday nights. They are looking for an energetic, performance driven series, filmed on location throughout Ireland and beyond. The series will include the wealth of traditional instrumental music, song and dance – artists of high profile and musicians who may not be well known to a national audience (yet!). The series will pay particular attention to the production of performances and provide new offerings in terms of arrangements and / or groupings to appeal to TG4’s core traditional music audiences and a wider general audience both in Ireland and throughout the world. The series will most likely be presenter led or they welcome suggestions on other ways to link performances and locations. It will be filmed in a fresh and highly visual manner to broadcast as hour long episodes on TG4’s linear schedule and as a new online brand offering additional bite size performances and other material of interest to the growing national and worldwide audience searching for traditional music performance.
- Transmission slot: TG4, Sunday 21.30 pm
- No. of episodes: 6 hours. TX to begin February 2020.
- Programme duration: 50 minutes
- Budget: €55,000 per hour plus 20,000 to produce and promote online material.
