NÍ GÁ TAYLOR Swift a chuir in aithne d’éinne ach tá amhránaí ó Chontae na Mí a bheidh ag seinnt ag an Electric Picnic an deireadh seachtaine agus tá a lucht leanúna ag tabhairt ‘Gaeilgeoir Swift’ uirthí de bharr na cosúlachtaí idir í agus an réalt Meirceánach a d’fhogair an tseachtain seo go raibh sí idir dáil agus pósadh.

Bean ildánach í Lisa Murray ón mBaile Ghib i nGaeltacht na Mí agus tá a cuid amhráin – ina measc leaganacha Gaeilge d’amhráin Taylor – agus tá si ar dhuine de chúig rannpháirtí i scéim nua chun ceol comhaimseartha trí Ghaeilge a spreagadh.

Glór Ár Linne is ainm do scéim Ráidió Rí Rá le tacaíocht ó Chomhairle Chathrach Átha Cliath agus Éire Ildánach agus beidh na rannpháirtithe ar an ardán sa Chollchoill ag an Picnic.

Ag labhairt di le The Journal , dúirt Lisa go raibh sí páirteach sa scéim mar ealaíontóir nó oirfideach agus mar mheantóir.

Mhínigh sí go raibh sé deacair briseadh tríd i saol an cheoil agus, mar sin, bhí uirthí bheith ina “jack of all trades”.

Ní h-aon scéal sí oíche atá i gceist leis an aistear atá tugtha go dtí seo ag Lisa go dtí an Picnic. Chaith sí na blianta, mar a mhínigh sí féin, ag cumadh amhráin ina seomra codlata agus ansan bhain sí céim amach sa cheol agus sa Ghaeilge i gColáiste na Tríonóide agus rinne sí Máistreacht ina dhiaidh sin.

Le linn na paindéime, rinne Lisa a céad singil a thaifeadadh sa bhaile agus rinne staisiúin ráidió ar fuaid na tíre an amhrán ‘i unfollowed u’ a sheinnt breis is 3m uair le linn 2022.

Is mar gheall ar an amhrán Gaeilge Uaigneach, amhrán a chum sí mar gheall ar bheith ag fágaint an baile le dul ar imirce, a thuill sí an ainm ‘Gaeilgeoir Swift’.

Dúirt Lisa go raibh sí thar a bheith sásta leis an dteideal sin. “Nuair a thosnaigh mé ag cur físeáin suas ar Tik Tok, nuair a d’éisigh mé Uaigneach, bhí mé ag déanamh go leor físeáin chun an scéal a scaipeadh agus chuir duine teachtaireacht ar cheann de mo chuid físeáin ‘Gaeilgeoir Swift” – Taylor Swift dos na Gaeilgeoirí.

Dúirt sí freisin gur dhein sí leagan Gaeilge d’amhrán Taylor, Love Story.

Deir sí sur seo an am chun a bheith ag amhránaíocht as Gaeilge.

“Tá dóirse ansin ar féidir leat oscailt leis an nGaeilge agus an cheol agus tá lucht féachana ann agus pobal iontach Gaelach ann faoi láthair agus tá siad ag iarraidh rudaí a chloisteáil trí Ghaeilge agus ag iarraidh tacaíocht a thabhairt do gach rud a bhaineann leis an teanga faoi láthair – is am iontach é don Ghaeilge agus don teanga faoi láthair.”

Anois tá sí ar tí aisling eile a fhiorú – beidh sí ar an ardán ag an Picnic Leictreach don gcéad uair oíche Dé hAoine agus tá sí ag súil go mór leis.

“Más Gael tú atá grá agat do Taylor Swift, beidh tú gafa le mo chuid ceoil,” dúirt sí, agus gheall sí sa bhreis ar sin go mbeadh go leor dá h-amhráin féin, mar aon le leaganacha Gaeilge d’amhráin eile a aithneoidh an eisteoir. Uair a chloig ‘girly agus Gaelach’ atá geallta aici don slua a bheidh i láthair.
