Seisiun

The Malahide branch of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí na hÉireann held a lively seisiún in St Sylvester’s GAA club on Friday 28th of November.

These regular seisiún’s always prove to be a great success, allowing the students to showcase their talents and build confidence by playing with their peers. As always, they were supported by their family members in a non-competitive and encouraging environment. Also in attendance on the night were some of the members from our neighbouring branch in Kinsealy.  In the latter half of the seisiun, teachers and senior students played a selection of tunes. They maintained the energy and spirit of the night, through their inspirational and talented renditions of many traditional favourites.

The Malahide branch of Comhaltas holds classes for all ages, children and adults, on Saturday mornings in St Oliver Plunkett’s N.S. school, Malahide, between 9.15am and 12.00pm. Tuition is available in an array of instruments. These include fiddle, bodhran, tin whistle, harmonica, flute, concertina, guitar and box accordion. Classes are pitched at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. We welcome and encourage new members at all times. The new term will resume with registration and classes on Saturday 10th January 09. For more information call 086 2097594 or http://www.malahidecce.com

The branch wish to extend their thanks for the ongoing support of Sylvester’s GAA club and their new tenants Gibney’s of Malahide in their support of Malahide Comhaltas Ceoltóirí na hÉireann.

We wish all our members and hard working committee a very happy Christmas and look forward to a creative and productive new year ahead with the Malahide branch of Comhaltas.

Fiona King, PRO.
