County Fleadh Success
Well done to Bannow Comhaltas on a very lively and entertaining County Fleadh in sunny Carrig on Bannow last weekend. Comhghairdeas mór to all our own musicians, singers and dancers who played, sang and danced their hearts out. While some medalled, others were happy simply to give it a lash and to enjoy the moment. Participation is the thing, being part of a great cultural happening. To those going on to Fleadh Laighean in Muine Bheag / Bagnelstown (July 8-15) we wish you all the best of luck.
