I posted the other day on the final night of the Winter School in Gweedore, County Donegal. Here is a selection of photographs from the earlier days of the Festival which ran from 27th December 2014 to 1st January 2015.
I am going to let the photos do the talking but as you will see it was a fabulous event. Can’t speak for the other workshops but Brid Harper’s fiddle was outstanding. Concerts and recitals from Boys of the Lough, Liz Carroll and Brid Harper, Harry Bradley, Brendan Begley, Seamus Begley, Seamie O’Dowd and great sessions where humble plebs like me could find themselves playing next to these guys or a host of others, perhaps less well known but just as good. A smooth, well-organised Festival. Great job Conor Byrne and all the volunteers who made it all happen. There were even a couple of days of sunshine.

Bob, that is a tour de force of picturing. Impressive !
Thanks Anne, Did you see the ones of you at the Hogmanay. You looked like you were having an absolute ball!
Hi Bob san, Junko here who met you (and had Chrsitmas pudding together) at (Colm’s house beside the venue of) the Winter School. Your photos are amazing. Not only this one but all other posts are also quite interesting. I introduced your blog in a mail-list of Irish-trad misucians in Japan. See you sometime again hopefully in Clare.
