Cavan Comhaltas members are Ennis bound

All roads lead to Ennis for traditional music enthusiasts this weekend. A large contingent of Cavan singers, musicians, storytellers and dancers will be making their way south for Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann this weekend.
Cavan cemented its reputation as a venue for traditional music excellence when we hosted the Fleadh in 2010-2013, but this year all eyes will be on Ennis as they hold back to back Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in the Clare town this weekend.
Musicians, singers and dancers have been progressing through regional competitions for the last number of months to achieve the recognition of being an All-Ireland champion. As every Cavan person knows Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann is a unique and welcoming festival of the best of traditional arts.
Over 20 Cavan performers will be trekking to County Clare to take part in this years event. Ennis has a tradition of hosting the event and Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann 2016 was an outstanding success, drawing almost 400,000 visitors to the town, recalling the magic of the 1956 and 1977 Fleadhanna.
This years Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann comes following a co-operative effort involving Comhaltas branches, local authorities, business people, sporting organisations and local volunteers. Cagvan will be well represented at this year festival of music and dance.
