Below, you will find the programme of events for the third Féile Átha Dá Chab, Ballydehob Traditional Music, Song and Dance Festival, which will take place in Ballydehob, County Cork on April 17-19, 2009.
Please note that except for the sean-nós dance workshop, the workshops are unsuitable for beginners.
As always, the sean-nós singing workshop will be through Irish.
This year, the flute workshop, button accordion workshop and tin whistle workshop will also be conducted through Irish, as the teachers are all fluent Irish speakers. Don't worry if you want to do one of these workshops and your Irish isn't great. Conal, Mary, and Breanndán are all really nice and will ensure that no-one feels left out.
There are limited places available in the singing and instrument classes, so book a place in advance if you don't want to be disappointed on the day.
Oh yeah, all students in the singing and instrument classes will get in for free to the concert! Sure, where would you get it????
Sin é, bígí linn agus beidh an-sport againn!
