Clifden Branch of Comhaltas has been selected to host this year’s Galway County Fleadh – Fleadh Cheoil na Gaillimhe. It will take place the weekend of the 13-15 May. It is expected to be a great weekend of music with lots of great music sessions throughout the town with lots of people visiting for the fleadh competitions. Clifden last hosted the Fleadh in 1990, 21 years ago. The Clifden Comhaltas Group is having a Fleadh Fundraising Concert on Friday 11th March in the Clifden Station House Hotel, Clifden at 9.00pm. It will be a concert with lots of great music, song and dance with lots of local musicians, singers and dancers taking part. Performers include; Clifden Comhaltas Groups, West Coast Youth Groups, Liz and Yvonne Kane, Members of Trad in the West, Cunningham Family Sean Nos Dancers and lots lots more local musicians! All Musicians and performers are asked to support and are welcome. Also at the Concert, the branch is going to be honouring 5 performers who have died since the last fleadh in Clifden in 1990. They were involved at that fleadh and involved in the Comhaltas branch then also. They are: Jimmy Mullen, Frank King, Noreen Mahon-Mangan, Gus Barry and Michael Pryce. The branch thought it would be a nice opportunity to honour and remember them for their past contribution. Admission is €10 on the door and a contribution will be made also to “Friends of Fatima Hospital, Clifden”. All are Welcome.
