Mini-Fleadh 2023

Saturday, April 1, 2023

Portglenone CCE Branch held their Post-Covid Annual Under age 'Mini Fleadh' event on Saturday 1st April.

The Mini Fleadh is aimed at our very young musicians and also for those preparing for the upcoming County Antrim Fleadh to be held in Cushendall from 21st to 23rd April 2023.

The competition takes the format of the normal Fleadh Cheoil. The main priority of the event is to give these young and enthusiastic musicians the chance to perform in front of an audience and an adjudicator. There are a variety of instruments to compete in ranging from the Tin Whistle, Fiddle, Banjo, Flute, Bodhran and singing competitions.

Many thanks to local musician, Brian McCart, for adjudicating our "Mini Fleadh" and this year was no different to previous ones pre-Covid in that a few of the competitions were hotly contested for and Brian had to make a few difficult decisions before the final winners were selected.

Many thanks to the Staff of 'The Wild Duck's' Mallard Suite where the 'Mini Fleadh' was held. Great venue!!

Congratulations to all our musicians and singers who found the courage to compete today. Well done!
