Fleadh Nua

Next week Ennis hosts the Fleadh Nua which is one of the biggest national festivals of traditional music, song and dance. For 8 days there will be ceili, music, set dancing, workshops, street entertaining, traditional singing, storytelling and much much more – probably a pint or two of the black stuff to wash it all down as well.
One of the highlights will be a concert by the Chieftains – held in the Cathedral as the only venue big enough – and we have tickets 996 and 997. Luckily we read the Clare Champion today and the advice to bring your own cushion with you as the pews were not designed for comfortable sitting.
May have to forgo the charms of the country to spend a few days - and nights - in the big city next week!
