The weekend of the 23 to 26 October saw the Annual Carrick Fleadh in rural South West Donegal. This small town came alive with sessions and concerts, with participants from all ages and mixed abilities playing together in a friendly, inclusive atmosphere.

Sunday evening saw people fill the village hall, where a variety of performers kept them entertained with music, stories and songs, many of which were taken from the repertoire of local heroes such as Johnny Doherty and James Byrne.
