Tar \u00e9is na m\u00edonna fhada do na heala\u00edona, l\u00e1n le neamhchinnteacht agus imn\u00ed, t\u00e1im bu\u00edoch a r\u00e1 go bhfuil ceol beo ar ais ar\u00eds ina ioml\u00e1n. Deir gach ceolt\u00f3ir a sheinneann sa t\u00edr seo go bhfuilimid na lucht f\u00e9achana ab fhearr ar domhain, agus mar sin n\u00ed g\u00e1 a r\u00e1 go bhfuil muintir na h\u00c9ireann ar b\u00eds chun ceol beo a cloisint ar\u00eds.<\/p>\n
Ceann de na c\u00e9ad ceolchoirme a bh\u00ed ar si\u00fal tar \u00e9is an fh\u00f3gra sin n\u00e1 The Kooks. Sheinn an banna tr\u00ed ceolchoirme san amharchlann 3Olympia i mBaile \u00c1tha Cliath, \u00f3n 27-29 Eanair 2022. T\u00e1 said ag taist\u00e9al chun a gc\u00faig\u00fa cuimhneach\u00e1n d\u00e9ig a ch\u00e9il\u00faradh, ag seinm ceol \u00f3na g\u00e9ad albaim, Inside In, Inside Out<\/em> (2006).<\/p>\n Is gr\u00fapa indie iad a bh\u00ed bunaithe i Brighton, Sasana \u00f3 2004. T\u00e1 cl\u00fa agus c\u00e1il acu ar fud na hEoraip, go h\u00e1irithe dona hamhr\u00e1in Naive<\/em> agus She Moves in Her Own Way<\/em>. In ainneoin go raibh cuid dena albaim scaoilte na mblianta \u00f3 shin, bh\u00ed an lucht f\u00e9achanna c\u00fapla seachtain \u00f3 shin l\u00e1n le daoine \u00f3ga, ag scr\u00e9ad\u00e1il, in ard a chinn is ghutha, gach liric a bh\u00ed \u00e1 chanadh ag an pr\u00edomhamhr\u00e1na\u00ed, Luke Pritchard. D’fhiafraigh roinnt daoine d\u00edom conas a raibh a fhios agam faoi The Kooks<\/em>, agus c\u00e9n f\u00e1th ina bhfuil an lucht lean\u00fana chomh \u00f3g sin acu inniu? Bheul, spreag a gcuid ceoil gl\u00fain nua tr\u00ed a \u00fas\u00e1id forleathan sna me\u00e1in, go h\u00e1irithe sa cl\u00e1r teilif\u00eds cultais Gavin and Stacey<\/em>. Nuair a th\u00e1inig an banna amach ar an st\u00e1itse ar dt\u00fas, th\u00e1inig ci\u00fanas ioml\u00e1n thar an amharchlann. Rud a chuir an ionadh orm, \u00e1fach, n\u00e1 lean an ci\u00fanas ar aghaidh, fi\u00fa nuair a thosaigh said ag seinm! N\u00ed raibh scleondar ar bith \u00f3n slua, fi\u00fa bh\u00ed cuma leamh leadr\u00e1nach orthu. Bh\u00ed mearbhall ag cuid den lucht, agus brathaim, c\u00e9 go raibh aitheantas ag cuid againn ar an ceol a bh\u00ed \u00e1 sheinm acu, nach raibh cl\u00fa d\u00e1 laghad againn faoi cuma an mbanna. Rinne m\u00e9 cuardaigh tapa do The Kooks <\/em>ar m\u2019fh\u00f3in, agus tabhair s\u00e9 \u00edomh\u00e1nna dom d\u2019amhr\u00e1na\u00ed leis an gruaig dubh, chatach c\u00e9anna a bh\u00ed ag an bhfear thuas ar an st\u00e1itse. Bh\u00ed m\u00e9 cro\u00edbhriste ag f\u00e9achaint ar an fhear neamhdh\u00edograsach sin, ina bhfolach taobh thiar de sp\u00e9acla\u00ed dubh, dorcha. C\u00e1 raibh an beocht \u00f3igeanta at\u00e1 le cloist\u00e9ail in amhr\u00e1in The Kooks<\/em>? Tar \u00e9is ceithre amhr\u00e1in, d\u2019fh\u00e1g an banna an st\u00e1itse, agus, ag tabhairt faoiseamh ollmh\u00f3r don slua, th\u00e1inig The Kooks<\/em> ina h\u00e1it. N\u00ed raibh ach an mbanna taca\u00edochta a bh\u00ed ann! D\u2019athraigh atmaisf\u00e9ar na h\u00e1ite l\u00e1ithreach bonn buille, ag malart\u00fa leadr\u00e1in do l\u00fach\u00e1ir.<\/p>\n C\u00e9 go bhfuil said tar \u00e9is na c\u00e9adta ceolchoirme a sheinm, bh\u00ed an beocht ag baint leo f\u00f3s. Chan Luke Pritchard le moth\u00fach\u00e1n l\u00e1idir i ngach uile focail, a bh\u00ed mar bhonn d\u00e1 rath forleathan roimhe seo. D\u2019oscail said le Seaside<\/em>, amhr\u00e1in gr\u00e1 tochtmhar le comhartha aithentais dona mbaile dh\u00fachais, Brighton. Rinne said cinnte an lucht a dh\u00e9anamh p\u00e1irteach sa cheol, go h\u00e1irithe lena leagan de Ooh La<\/em>. Sheinn an pr\u00edomhamhr\u00e1na\u00ed tionlacan ar giot\u00e1r ac\u00fastach i gcomhair an amhr\u00e1in She Moves in Her Own Way, ag tabhairt a thuilleadh beocht don l\u00e9iri\u00fa.<\/p>\n N\u00edorbh iontas ar bith \u00e9 gur th\u00e1inig an banna amach ar\u00eds ag an deireadh, i l\u00e1r theorann an slua ag scread\u00e1il \u201cOne more tune!\u201d<\/em>. Riomh an phand\u00e9im, cheap m\u00e9 gur thradisi\u00fain iomarcach agus neamhriachtanach \u00e9 an n\u00f3s sin, ach, an uair seo, bh\u00ed cluas\u00edn\u00ed cro\u00ed orm \u00e9 a chloiste\u00e1il, ba \u00e9 sin deireadh na ch\u00e9ad cheolchoirm ar ais sa ghn\u00e1thaois. Le haghaidh an \u2018ti\u00fain\u2019 deirenach, chan an banna an t-amhr\u00e1n is c\u00e1ili\u00fala acu \u2013 Na\u00efve<\/em>. Bh\u00ed sceitim\u00edn\u00ed le brath san amharclann beag, b\u00eddeach ar feadh an t-amhr\u00e1n ar fad, agus d\u2019fh\u00e1g gach uile duine ag an deireadh le gliondar cro\u00ed orthu.<\/p>\n N\u00edl ach an moladh is airde \u00e1 thabhairt agam do The Kooks<\/em>. Rinne said an tr\u00ed rud at\u00e1 ag taist\u00e1il ag aon ceolchoirm ar bith: sheinn said a amhr\u00e1in d\u00e1 gcuid is m\u00f3, bh\u00ed said l\u00e1n le fuinneamh agus chruthaigh said atmaisf\u00e9ar beomhar, leictreach. Creidim go huile is go hioml\u00e1n gurb ceolchoirm iontach \u00e9 chun f\u00e1ilte thar n-ais a thabhairt go mhuintir na h\u00c9ireann chuig an ceol beo, agus chuig na heala\u00edona ar fad. \u00c9 sin r\u00e1ite, gu\u00edmid go l\u00e9ir nach mbeadh aon f\u00e1ilte ar ais riachtanach riamh ar\u00eds in\u00e1r saoil!<\/p>\n
