Families sought for Feis and Blood

FEIS and Blood, a new TG4 show is searching for Ireland’s most entertaining family.

“From The Clancy Brothers to Crystal Swing, the Irish family has entertained us throughout the decades. Talented Irish families have excelled in their particular genres, whether it’s the pop music of the Corrs or the sean-nós dancing of the Cunninghams. Now it’s time to find a brand new family that will entertain the nation,” according to a spokeswoman for Adare Productions, who are creating the show for TG4.
Over 13 episodes, Feis and Blood will set out to find a new super-star family. All entries must be made up solely from family members and must consist of at least two people.
“So if your family is the new Clannad or if you like to sing and dance with your brother, sister, parents or grandparents, we want to hear from you. Maybe you enjoy singing country and western with your niece? Or do you spend Sunday evenings doing your own version of Riverdance with your cousins? Perhaps you enjoy playing music with your uncle? Whatever the talent, get in touch with us and apply for an audition,” she added.
To apply for an audition, log onto the TG4 website at www.tg4.ie and fill out the application form or call 01 284 3877 and ask for Críona or Siobhán.
“For those who are called to take part in the series, the next stage will be to record the first-round shows in Dublin between January 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13,” the spokeswoman said.
