Quite the opposite: the F\u00e9ile has traditionally been a very cosmopolitan affair, having international representation among both visitors and talent from places including Canada, England, France and Scotland. Speakers of other languages are made very welcome.<\/p>\n<h2>A taste of Gaeltacht culture<\/h2>\n<p>Although this video has a running time approaching two hours, it\u2019s far from being a complete record of the occasion, consisting only of a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focloir.ie\/en\/dictionary\/ei\/taste\"><i>blais\u00edn\u00ed<\/i><\/a>. Most of the items on the programme are represented however; the intention being to give the viewer a glimpse of the F\u00e9ile in all its aspects \u2014 song, music, lectures, commemoration and so on \u2014 and also to show them around the area in which it takes place.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, the recordings available in the Cartlanna are historical records*; giving us snapshots of the past, which is by definition gone forever. But <b>F\u00e9ile Joe \u00c9inni\u00fa<\/b> is a vibrant and ongoing yearly event. Readers who enjoy this video but who\u2019ve never attended the F\u00e9ile are encouraged to do so. It\u2019s not an exaggeration to say that it attracts the very best of traditional singers and musicians from Ireland and abroad. No recording can ever be a substitute for actually being there.<\/p>\n<p><i>*Of course, the time will inevitably come when this recording becomes an historical record itself. Perhaps it\u2019ll be given a special screening at the F\u00e9ile in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/22nd_century\">2119<\/a>!<\/i><\/p>\n<h2>Overview of F\u00e9ile Joe \u00c9inni\u00fa<\/h2>\n<p>The F\u00e9ile was first held in 1986, two years after Joe Heaney\u2019s death on May Day 1984. It\u2019s always been a community-driven event and in recent years Joe\u2019s own family have become active in organising it.<\/p>\n<p>Taking place in Joe\u2019s home village of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Carna,_County_Galway\">Carna<\/a>, the F\u00e9ile runs over the May Day weekend; generally from Friday to Monday. The programme varies from year to year but revolves around a core of informal traditional singing and music sessions, formal concerts, singing competitions, lectures, album \u204a book launches, presentations, exhibitions and guided tours. On the Sunday, there\u2019s always a visit to Joe\u2019s grave in Reilig Mhaighrois at which, after a short prayer, some songs are sung and some tunes are played in his honour.<\/p>\n<p>This annual celebration reflects the esteem in which Joe is held by his own community and by his musical peers. His achievements were manifold and considerable. Certainly, he was an accomplished singer from the rich Gaeltacht tradition, but he was also an ambassador and exemplar for that tradition who brought it with him into the wider world, nationally and internationally; to the attention of a mainstream which at the time tended to be highly dismissive of it, if not openly contemptuous. It would have been so easy for him to excise the Irish language songs from his play list and replace them with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pat_Boone\">Pat Boone<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jim_Reeves\">Jim Reeves<\/a> numbers.<\/p>\n<p>And yet while he always remained a \u2018traditional singer\u2019 he was perfectly willing to embrace material that had roots in traditions other than his own: consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/babes-in-the-wood\/\"><cite class=\"amhr\u00e1n\">Babes in the Wood<\/cite><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/cath-cheim-an-fhia\/\"><cite class=\"amhr\u00e1n\">Cath Ch\u00e9im an Fhia<\/cite><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/eamonn-an-chnoic\/\"><cite class=\"amhr\u00e1n\">\u00c9amon a\u2019 Chnoic<\/cite><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/skibbereen\/\"><cite class=\"amhr\u00e1n\">Skibbereen<\/cite><\/a> \u204a\u027cl\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it should never be forgotten that toward the end of his life Joe became a teacher; transmitting his cultural heritage in a new environment and to receptive new audiences who might not otherwise have been exposed to it. Only for that last step on his journey, these Cartlanna wouldn\u2019t exist at all.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daoine-eile","category-daoine-eile-amhrain"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2696"}],"version-history":[{"count":51,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2696\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3407,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2696\/revisions\/3407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
