'Passing it On'

Live Reviews

Carrick Fleadh 09

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.

Review of Common Ground Summer Schools - by Willie Slavin

Common Ground Scotland comes to earth in Dundee

Those of us who have endured the travels of the Common Ground Scotland Summer Schools over the last couple of years in particular, have been duly rewarded by its coming to rest in Dundee. Not only that but we can begin to believe that we have found a home at West Park. Home, as in a place where you feel welcome, where you can rest your weary head, where excellent food is served with a smile and there is ample accommodation for the many rich and varied activities on offer.
