Fleadh Cheoil Chill Chartha in full flow with something for everyone

Fleadh Cheoil Chill Chartha kicked this week in Kilcar with all classes in Fiddle, Guitar, Tin Whistle, Accordian and Banjo and Ceili Dancing. 

These classes will run all week in the Aisleann 10am to 1pm with the Dancing in John Joe's 11am to 1pm. The Rambling Session was a huge success again on Monday night, even in the rain and Tuesday had better weather with Dancing at the Crossroads on main street.

Today, Wednesday, is  'Music for the Journey' in Kilcar church to remember anyone who passed away in the last year. They will be celebrated and remembered through music, song and reflection. Following this, there is a concert in the Aisleann with Natalie Ní Chasaide and Iarfhlaith Ó Domhnaill.

Thursday sees the Echoes of the Glen. With music on both sides of the Glen being led by a piper onto the bridge for music and dancing.

Friday is the ever-popular Heritage Day from 1pm in the Aisleann. All local crafts, homegrown veg, boxty making and you can even have a massage. Concert on Friday night with the fantastic Sean Keane.

There is a session nightly in John Joe's Bar Kilcar, which won Traditional Bar of the Year. You will see up to 30 local and visiting musician joing in music and song.

“As always this event could not happen without the support of all our sponsors and everyone to help out at the events,” event organisers said. “If you are around come out and enjoy the fun and great welcome Kilcar always has to offer.”
