Tuesday 1st May, marks the last 100 days to Fleadh 2012. Lets get together to celebrate in the Market Square under the clock! 100 trad performers – dancers, singers, lilters & musicians wanted to perform together from 5-6.15 p.m. Lets use this opportunity to bring together the great mix of youth and experience we have in Cavan. So bring along your instrument, be that your voice, your feet, your tin whistle, accordian, fiddle etc… and get the countdown off to a flying start
A great youth session was held yesterday in Castlemanor, thanks to all who attended most especially James McGovern for leading the group. A warm welcome was also extended to young people from neighbouring branches who joined us. The session is aimed at giving post-primary students and above a place to share the music and friendship. We will be back in touch about our next session.
Thanks also to our hard working committee members for their continued support in these new initiatives
August 10th to 20th, some highlights of a spectacular events programme
