Turas Húicéara on TG4

The first programme of the series 'Turas Húicéara' will be broadcast on TG4 on Thursday 17 January 2013 at 9.30pm. The series is produced by Donncha Mac Con Iomaire from An Cheathrú Rua.

Donncha Mac Con Iomaire, Tomás Mac Con Iomaire, Cillín Mac Donnacha

Three mariners from Connemara take to the high-seas of the old Gaelic Kingdoms round Ireland, the Isle of Man, and Scotland to sail 3,000 miles in search of their history, culture and heritage. Donncha, Cillín, and Tomás leave home seeking what remains of their native ethnicity on the shores of the wild Atlantic, meeting experts and the local communities onboard the most Gaelic sailboat still around, the Naomh Bairbre, a Galway Hooker. They visit St. Kilda the haunting deserted island off Western Scotland and the famed Loch Ness in the Highlands and other magical locations that can only be reached by sea. Combining dramatic footage with evocative music, this series will bring the taste of sea-salt to your screen.

The series will be officially launched by Pól Ó Gallachóir, Ceannaire TG4, on Friday 11 January at 9pm in Tigh Sé (An Chistin).
