I know a number of boardmembers will be travelling in these parts so maybe this is a relevant announcement for them.
A special concert will be held in Glor Irish music centre in Ennis Co Clare on June 9th: Brid O Donohue will present a concert of all her whistle pupils. It’s along similar lines of her annual Christmas concerts, which are always thoroughly enjoyable.
Appearing will be loads of young whistlers, many of whom will be doubling up on other instruments (fiddles, pipes, concertinas flutes, harps etc) , the band of older (13-17 year olds) pupils the Ceoltoiri Laichtin Naofa is a traditional group that will lift your heart. Ofcourse Brid will be appearing herself and will be joined by a number of special guests: concertinaplayer Kitty Hayes and myself will be appearing (and looking forward to it) and a very special appearance will be made by Paddy Canny, who for a very special occasion will be joined by his daughter Mary and granddaughter Eimaer on fiddles and his grandson Gerard on whistle and harp.
Several generations of musicians will be playing on stage, showing the continuity of the music of Co Clare.
