NYAH
County Cavan Arts Festival 2007
Chontae an Chabhán Féile Ealaíon
Festivals are life blood Of Traditional Culture
This is a festival of all things Cavan.
Now in the Fourth year, the NYAH festival celebrates the traditional music, song, dance and culture of County Cavan, the Ulster tradition and the county’s very own musical style. Michael Harding, writer calls the Cavan style ‘enigmatic and unpredictable’, claiming that ‘Cavan music is a lace-maker’s music’.
And Cavan can lay claim to Ed Reavy, one of the most performed Irish composers in the world.
The Nyah Sessions have previously attracted the top names in Irish music in the country. And the best musicians from the tradition will be spinning down Breffni roads again to play at several of the sessions during the year and which will be presented with Generation Awards for their efforts.
The Nyah consists of people from the Music, Song and Dance Tradition,Cavan Tourism , Cavan Town Comhaltas, Cavan Multi Cultural Network and Cavan County Council, committed to promoting all the art forms of the area.
Put a bit of nyah into your week and visit some of the events planned for Cavan’s traditional Arts festival. http://www.cavanmusic.com
