Ceol na gConnallach in memory of the great musician Jimmy Campbell

An evening of Donegal traditional fiddle music 'Ceol na gConnallach' in memory of the late Jimmy Campbell is set to take place at  Amharclann Ghaoth Dobhair, Na Doirí Beaga, on December 27 at 8.30pm.

Jimmy Campbell is regarded as one of Donegal's most influential traditional musicians of his time. Stemming from an exceptionally musical family the Campbell household was a haven for musicians. The musician would have played music with the late Mickey and Jimmy Doherty.

Jimmy Campbell passed away on January 22, last.

Well-known and respected musician Ciarán Ó Maonaigh will be master of ceremony on the night and many of Jimmy's musical friends will be present to entertain on the evening. It is certain to be an evening not to be missed.
