Under the support of the Chamber of Commerce, the Clifden Comhaltas branch has reopened and is receiving a wonderful reaction.
Our first open meeting will be held on Friday 20th November @ 7.30pm in Mannions Bar, Clifden. This will be followed by a free session of traditional music, song and dance to officially launch the branch. This promises to be a wonderful night of music and all are welcome.
We encourage all interested to join and membership fees are as follows: Family; €20; Senior: €12 & Junior: €6. The new committee has lots of plans for the branch including running monthly music sessions, hosting the County and Connaught Fleadhs and having an annual Trad Music festival in Clifden. We would also welcome all ideas and suggestions. For any enquiries, please contact Michele Hehir on 087 0520295 or Marie Walsh 086 4015342 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
