Established by the Kildare County Board of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, Ceardlann Earraigh features some of Ireland’s greatest musicians for workshops during the day and a “Grand Concert” at night.
Directions
The workshops will be held in Scoil na Mainistreach, Celbridge, Co. Kildare. Celbridge is situated 12 miles from Dublin city centre and is easily accessible from the N4, N7 and M50, with the 67 bus running directly to the village from Dublin city centre. Registration and grading takes place at 10.45am with the classes following from 11.30am to 4.30pm. The fee for the workshops is €20, which allows free entry, for junior participants, to ‘The Grand Concert’ at 8pm on the night. Celbridge is adjacent to the village of Straffan which recently played host to a prestigious golf event. Join us in Celbridge for the music, singing, dancing, storytelling, craic and Grand Concert in what should prove to be ‘The Ryder Cup of all Workshops’. Bígí Linn!
