Building on the success of its first year in 2007, the Féile Átha Dá Chab, annual traditional music, song and dance festival in Ballydehob, County Cork will take place again on April 18-20, 2008. Aimed firmly at genuine fans of traditional music, this festival provides an opportunity to watch and learn from masters of traditional music, song and dance within a picturesque rural setting in West Cork.
The program for 2008 includes a great selection of workshops in concertina, button accordion, flute, fiddle, sean-nós singing, and sean-nós dancing from Edel Fox, Bobby Gardiner, Harry Bradley, Jesse Smith, Eilís Ní Shúilleabháin and Ronan Regan. If you are not one for the workshops, these artists will also be performing in pub sessions and a festival concert. Set dancers are also catered for with a Sunday afternoon céilí with Jig Time Céilí Band, and younger musicians will get the chance to showcase their talents in their own music session.
