Are you Ireland's traddest family?

The Ray D'Arcy Show is on the hunt for families who love playing traditional music together to compete for the title of 'Ireland's Traddest Family' live on RTÉ One.

D’Arcy said: “We’ve had a phenomenal response the length and breadth of the country - the talent out there is unbelievable. Applications are still open, so, if you and your family love playing traditional music together or you know a family that fits the bill – we’d love to hear from you.'

The closing date for the competition is February 24th and if successful, all participants must be available to travel to Dublin to perform live during The Ray D’Arcy Show on March 11th.
