Ciarán Ó Gealbháin
Aithnítear Ciarán mar dhuine de scothamhránaithe dúchasacha na tíre seo. Tá staidéar acadúil déanta aige ar shaibhreas an traidisiúin chultúrtha seo ach thar aon rud eile aithnítear é toisc feabhas a chuid amhránaíochta fhéin. Cúram, cruinneas agus croí na tréithe is mó a bhaineann lena chuid amhránaíochta, rud a léiríonn a mheas ar na hamhránaithe a tháinig roimhe agus ar amhránaithe eile a linne. 

Ciarán Ó Gealbháin is widely recognised and respected as one of Ireland’s foremost traditional singers in the Irish language. He has engaged in academic study of this rich cultural tradition but is held in the highest regard mainly for his own singing which bears all the hallmarks of a traditional singer who is steeped in the genre. The excellence of his singing and his interpretation of the major songs of the tradition is nothing short of breath-taking.

Eolas faoin nGradam.
Is in 1992 a bunaíodh an fhéile Sean-Nós Cois Life rud a chiallaíonn go mbeidh an 32ú féile á ceiliúradh againn in 2023. Ón gcéad fhéile a bhí againn in 1992 tá muid ag cur amhránaíocht dhúchasach na Gaeilge chun cinn ar bhealach oscailte fáiltiúil.
Bronntar Gradam Shean-Nós Cois Life gach bliain ar dhuine nó ar dhaoine a meastar go bhfuil saibhriú faoi leith déanta acu ar amhránaíocht dhúchasach na Gaeilge thar na blianta.

The Sean-Nós Cois Life festival was first founded in 1992 so 2023 sees us celebrate our 32nd festival. From 1992 to the present moment the Sean-Nós Cois Life festival has been encouraging traditional singing in the Irish language in an open, friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
The Gradam Shean-Nós Cois Life award is presented each year in recognition of the special contribution made by the recipient(s) to traditional singing in the Irish language.
