About Féile Chois Cuain
With a view to preserving this rich heritage and promoting traditional music among the youth of the area, a small group got together in 1995 and organised Féile Chois Cuain. Féile has helped reawaken interest in the traditional Music and regular classes are now taking place with very encouraging numbers taking part.
Masterclasses have been a feature of Féile Chois Cuain and you can find out more about these on the website www.feilechoiscuain.com
Classes are however but one aspect of Féile and the almost non-stop music and singing sessions, featuring great numbers of visiting and local musicians, together with the Concerts and Céilí make it a wonderful weekend for young and old.
Féile Chois Cuain is renowned for its informal and impromptu Sessions so if you have a song to sing, a tune to play, a step to dance or simply appreciate our culture, why not join in the craic agus ceoil?
