Huge congratulations to our Ulster Champions from the fleadh in Bangor at the weekend!
Roise McCloy won both the U-12 tin whistle slow air and the U-12 flute slow air. She also came 2nd in the U-12 flute and, with Caoimhe O’Kane, was in the winning 12-15 Ceoltoiri Crosskeys ceili band. Caoimhe also played in the 3rd placed grupa ceoil representing Ceoltoiri Crosskeys, while Patrick Magee played in their 15-18 grupa ceoil who were victorious on Sunday.
Also qualifying for the All-Ireland fleadh, having been placed in their competitions at the weekend, are Ellie Conway, Caitriona Lagan, Hugh Mulholland, Anthony Totten and Roisin Magee.
Ellie came 2nd in both the U-12 tin whistle and the U-12 tin whistle slow air while Caitriona was placed 3rd in the mandolin. Hugh qualified as runner up in three different competitions: O-18 mandolin, newly composed tune and, along with Anthony and Roisin, in the O-18 Ceoltoiri Crosskeys grupa ceoil.
Many of the above named took part in other competitions as well but were not placed, as did Padraig Mullan, Tony Diamond, James McCloy, Brian Magee and Aoife McOscar. Well done to them all for their hard work and achievement in getting to the Ulster fleadh and best of luck to those who have qualified from our branch for the All-Ireland fleadh in Ennis on 20-21 August.
