Fintona CCÉ fill Dún Uladh with Irish trad

THE fine sounds of Irish traditional music rang through Dún Uladh recently as the regional resource centre welcomed the talented Fintona CCÉ for a night of toe-tapping tunes.

The concert was part of Dún Uladh Regional Cultural Centre’s weekly Comhaltas Summer Seisiún series, which is taking place every Tuesday at the venue over the month of July.

This unique celebration of Irish traditional music, song, dance and storytelling brings together the local community and visitors alike for an unforgettable cultural experience.

Renowned as one of Ireland’s longest-running traditional summer shows, the seisiún programme showcases a carefully curated blend of performance and participation.

Each evening begins with a lively stage show featuring a diverse selection of local talent – from solo musicians and singers to small instrumental groups, storytellers and dancers.

While line-ups will vary each week, audiences can expect a rich tapestry of Irish tradition brought to life by performers of all ages, from promising junior musicians to experienced senior artists.

Each unique set showcases the very best talent from across the province with different performers from Ulster branches and groups.
