🎻✨ What a morning for Club Ceoil Knocknaheeny! ✨🎻

We were absolutely delighted to play some tunes today at Cork City Hall as part of the World Health Organization Summit on Climate & Health.

Our young musicians represented Knocknaheeny and Cork City so brilliantly, sharing our music and community with visitors from around the world. 🌍🎶

And what an experience! We got to meet Lord Mayor of Cork Damian Boylan as well as An Taoiseach Micheál Martin 🇮🇪

A huge thank you to Tony Fitzgerald, Stephen Murphy and all at Cork City Council, and to Music Generation Cork City for supporting our young musicians and making opportunities like this possible.

We’re so proud of them! 💚🎻
