Produced in response to the cancellation of live performances of the Turas concert as a result of the Covid crisis. There are 29 sections in the overall show, 110 minutes in length. Each section covers one or more counties or topics, and music relevant to the county or the subject is played at normal volume to accompany related photographic and other images.

The show is a TV-style documentary, using still images and complete-tune music tracks with a variety of performance formats - solo, duet, trio - with dance on many of the 90 sets. There are a total of five songs, three in Irish, two in English.

The musicians are Gerry O'Connor (fiddle), Tiarnán Ó Duinnchinn (uilleann pipes), Fintan Vallely (flute), Sibéal Davitt (sean-nós step dance), Seamus O'Kane (tambourine); singers Róisín Chambers, Karan Casey, Máire Ní Choilm and Róisín White (Singers Maurice Leyden and Stéphanie Makem are, for space reasons, only on the online videe version).
The music is taken from the CD Compánach, which additionally has two songs by Maurice Leyden and one by Stephanie Makem. Full information on purchase and viewing on www.tur.ie.
The DVD and CD together can be purchased for €35 including postage to all parts. The funds from this cross-discipline project are shared among the performers and photographers.

Ideal for family, CCÉ branch, club and music showings.

Advantages of the DVD: portability, not dependent on a signal from outside, suited to more remote or weak-intertnet regions. There are also DVD-style chapters which give click-on access to county by county sections, especially useful in group-showing and teaching situations.

Advantages of the online video: useful for travelling, viewing on phones and tablets, and for casual and demonstrative access in social situations.

The DVD is available from December 1st, 2021
