Fleadh
Mhaigh Eo returns to Ballycastle
On
May 8-10th , Fleadh Mhaigh Eo, 2009, returns to Ballycastle
this year after a very successful Fleadh in 2008. The Parochial
Hall, Primary School, St Patrick's College (former Convent)
and St John's Hall are the venues where the action will
take place. The Fleadh is an event for young and old but especially
the under eighteen's on Saturday May 9th . This is an opportunity
for these young traditional musicians, singers and dancers
to display their expertise and to fulfil their wish of being
selected to participate in the Connaught Fleadh.
Sunday
is the day for the over eighteens where the veterans of Irish
music, song and dance do friendly battle with each other for
a place in the Connaught Fleadh. These are the adult performers
who have developed their own personal style of music and by
participating in the Fleadh they are actually handing down
their expertise to the next generation. There are band competitions,
grúpaí ceoil, workshops and Labhairt na Gaeilge
throughout the weekend.
There
is a concert on Friday 8th in the Community Hall and a Céilí
on Saturday 9th with the Carousel Céilí Band.
