|
The
Chieftans played to over 600 people in Keadue Church,
the O'Carolan Harp Festival went very well and this year it was opened by Cardinal Cathal B. Daly, who's ancestors hail from the area. The Festival celebrated its 25th anniversary this year. Among the many attractions throughout the festival, none of which could have taken place without the help of the local businesses, shops, pubs and accommodation owners; kids were captivated by a magic show, fire breathing and many other events for all ages. Business people made sure that every visitor was welcomed and looked after. The organisers who always prepare in advance have to be given credit for the work and as you read this they are already preparing for the O'Carolan Festival 2003. Below is just a sample of what the festival had in store for locals and visitors.
WoodTurner, Vintage Car display, Folk Dancing group from Sweden and of course the one and only group, The Chieftans were just some of the many delights experienced by the many visitors to this well known Festival.
