Chairde,

Congratulations to all our young musicians and singers & Irish speakers who qualified to represent the Fred Finn Branch and County Sligo at the Connacht Fleadh in Ballina on weekend of July 1st and 2nd – a full list of individual winners will follow when available.
Our 3 grupaí ceoil involving 60 young musicians competed today & received first place in U-12, U15, & U-18 age groups grupai cheoil.
Our U-12 and U-15 ceili bands, with 10 musicians in each are also county champions tonight.
This was a remarkable achievement for the Fred Finn branch, the children & their parents and reflects the input of 4 very dedicated tutors Michael Rooney, June McCormack, Seán Carroll and Charles O’Connor over the past five months. Huge time was spent on tune selection, variations, recordings & arrangements by the 4 tutors. All practices were held in Summerhill College and facilitated by Kenny Donagher.
Comhghairdeas to all of our young members for their achievements this weekend.
