Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2019

Yet another fantastic year for our members at Fleadh CHeoil na hÉireann, in Drogheda. Our members representated their branch and county in over 25 competitions in Drogheda and also taking part in performances on the Gig Rig with the branch, with various youth groups and Nós Nua - Louth Youth Folk Orchestra, who also featured on Fleadh TV. A massive well done to everyone who took part in the fleadh and we would especially like to acknowledge our committee, tutors, members, parents and of course our fabulous musicians for their time and unwilting dedication to the branch. Maith Sibh go Léir. Some photos below of our winners, medalists and branch members, who performed on the Gig Rig on Thursday 16th, in Bolton Square.
