RAVELÓID IS A new music and culture festival due to take place in June 2016.
It’ll be a lot like other summer festivals, but will have a twist: the Irish language will be at its centre.
Organisers are hoping to attract 5,000 people to Balbriggan in Dublin, from 10-12 June next.
There’ll be a mixture of contemporary and traditional music, comedy, dance, literature, workshops and, of course, camping.
To get people fully prepped for the festival, organisers have compiled an Irish phrasebook that covers the following situations:
Tá deireadh liom ar fad, níor thógas páipéar leithris liom.My life is over, I forgot to pack toilet roll.An shifteálfá mo chara? … Cad fúmsa mar sin?Would you shift my mate? … What about me then?
Tá siad ródhírithe ar an taobh gnó, is fearr liom a gcuid luath.
They’re too commercial, I prefer their earlier stuff.
Tá naigín i bhfolach agam i mo chíochbheart.
I have a sneaky naggin in my bra.*
An gcabhrófá liom mo phuball a chrochadh?
Would you help pitch my tent?
Glacaimis féinphic?
Will we take a selfie?
The Ravelóid line-up includes Delorentos, Kíla and Ham Sandwich. More information about the festival can be found here.
