Welcome to Féile Patrick Byrne

Féile Patrick Byrne consists of traditional music, dance and singing workshops plus concerts, sessions, a sets céilí, historical walk and lecture. The event honours Patrick Byrne (c.1799-1863), the last noted exponent of the historical Gaelic harp and the first Irish traditional musician ever photographed.

Bíonn an fhéile seo ar siúl gach bliain in ómós Patrick Byrne (c.1799 – 1863). Aithnítear é mar an saoi deireanach ar an gcláirseach ársa Éireannach. Ba eisean an chéad cheoltóir traidisiúnta Éireannach ar tógadh grianghraf de ariamh.

 

Le linn na féile bíonn ceardlanna ar siúl sa Cheol, sa rince agus san amhránaíocht traidisiúnta chomh maith le seisiúin, céilí seiteanna, siúlóid staire agus léachtaí. Ar ndóigh, is iad na ceolchoirmeacha buacphointí na féile!
