Well done to everyone who took part and for those that qualified for the All-Ireland in Tullamore, good luck!!!!
Just wanted to mention the craft fair at the Ulster Fleadh. It’s going to be held in the Lodge, 24-25th July, 1-6pm. Anyone who would like to have a stall please email Maria and Emma at craft_fair_ulster_fleadh@yahoo.co.uk. We are trying for as many homemade/local crafts as possible.
You can watch the last few episode of RTE’s coverage of last year’s All Ireland Fleadh here – http://www.rte.ie/player/#s=search&q=fleadh
The Ulster Fleadh signals the conclusion to July’s musical festivals. Drama, concerts, ceilis and competitions
mean the Fleadh will appeal to people of all ages. There will be plenty of local talent, keep and eye out for
names which will re-appear again and again in future years on the traditional music scene.
Fleadh Uladh is organised by Newcastle Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann, queries should be directed to them,
details of which will be posted on this website in the coming weeks.
