The Cavan County Fleadh begins today, with festivities kickstarting in host town Belturbet from 6pm.
Following an unprecedented hiatus due to Covid, organisers of the Belturbet-staged event (June 3-5) stress the “importance” of community spirit, and are eager to make up for “lost time”.
“We are so proud, and so delighted to be able to host the County Fleadh once again here in Belturbet,” says chair of the organising committee, Ann Grogan.
The weekend long schedule of festivities begins on Friday with the U10 Tin Whistle Competition starting at 6pm; followed by the official County Fleadh opening on the gig rig located in the centre of Belturbet Town with local musicians playing.
The evening's entertainment rounds off with the renowned High Stool Prophets playing at 8pm; and the Session Trail at pub venues throughout Belturbet from 9.30pm.
