The Ceilidh Band Competition

9th November
Last weekend was the Ennis Trad festival which included concerts, pub sessions, CD launches and of course the Ceilidh Band Competition on Saturday night. Paid our €15 each and joined about 600 others in the banquet suite of the West County Hotel to watch 10 bands from across the west of Ireland compete for a €5000 first prize. It was a very close competition but there was one clear winner – both in the view of the professional judges and the audience vote. In addition to some great music, the people-watching was tremendous fun.
