Although we had no-one placed in any of the solo competitions at the Ulster Fleadh at the weekend, several of our musicians have qualified to compete in the All-Ireland Fleadh as members of Ceoltoiri Crosskeys grupai ceoil and ceili bands. All three grupai ceoil and the 15-18 ceili band won their competitions and progress as Ulster champions to Sligo in three weeks time.
Caoimhe O’Kane was in the 12-15 grupa ceoil while Caoimhe Purvis and Roisin Magee played in the 15-18 grupa ceoil (Roisin was also in the winning 15-18 ceili band). In the O-18 grupa ceoil, Hugh Mulholland, Kevin O’Kane, Hilary Scott, Maureen McKee and Amanda Monaghan were our representatives.
Well done to everyone who took part and good luck to those who qualified at the All-Ireland fleadh!
