FleadhFest 2021 is a project by Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann to substitute for Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, which has been cancelled this year due to Covid-19. Through a series of videos, it tells the story of Comhaltas from the point of view of each County and Province - the story of the people, community and culture. The videos, which can be viewed at youtube.com/comhaltas/videos, are a treasure trove for anyone interested in traditional Irish music. Leithinis Donabate Portrane CCÉ recorded our contribution to this project at two local heritage sites, Newbridge House and Park, facilitated by Duncan Henderson and Cathal Dowd Smith (of Fingal County Council), and the Martello Tower at Tower Bay thanks to Terry Prone and Bryan Greene. Part of our video is included in FleadhFest Ath Cliath Episode 2, starting at 37:35. It features Bren Farley and Sinéad Cahill on whistles, Erin McGahon on fiddle, Evin Cuniffee on banjo and Michael Durkan on guitar recorded at the Martello Tower playing the jig, Sliabh Russell, over the background shots of Newbridge House. This is followed by a set played by Denis Stack on button accordion, Sinéad Cahill on whistle and Clíona O’Reilly on fiddle. Well done to all our musicians; they did us proud. A special thanks to Ian Butler who did a thoroughly professional job on ensuring perfect sound quality and on editing the video and to John Treanor for the drone footage.Thanks to a grant from Fingal County Council’s Community Activities Funding, Leithinis has purchased three concertinas to add to our expanding instrument bank. We wish to acknowledge the guidance and support offered by Rafe Costigan, Fingal County Council Senior Community Officer, in our preparation of this and previous grant applications. These concertinas will be available on loan to students registering for our classes next semester, starting in late September. The concertina classes will be taught by Rory Thornburg, who also teaches button accordion. Anyone of any age from seven up interested in joining our classes in traditional Irish music on banjo, bodhrán, button accordion, concertina, flute or tin whistle, check out our website, www.leithinis.com, and email us at leithinis@comhaltas.net.
