🎶 The Cornelius Lyons Harp Weekend is Fast Approaching 🎶

Interest continues to grow in this year's programme, with only limited places remaining on the Harp Workshop with Deirdre Granville and limited tickets available for the Saturday Night Concert with Danny O'Mahony and Cáit Ní Riain.

We are also delighted to present a special lecture by Dr Aibhlin McCrann, Chair of Harp Ireland, exploring the story of the harp revival both locally and nationally. This promises to be a fascinating event for anyone with an interest in music, culture and heritage.

The weekend programme also includes Mass at Irremore Church and a harp recital at Rattoo Tower.

🎟️ Advance booking is strongly advised for both the workshop and concert to avoid disappointment 🎟

Join us as we celebrate the music, history and enduring legacy of Cornelius Lyons in the heart of North Kerry.

🎶 Listowel Celtic Arts Weekend | Comhaltas Listowel Duagh Evening Concert

An evening where the instruments speak to one another—fiddles, whistles, bodhrán, banjo—each carrying its own voice, yet finding rhythm in shared space.

For this special concert, Listowel/Duagh Comhaltas take to the stage, bringing together musicians of different ages and traditions in a living expression of Irish music. These are the sounds shaped in kitchens, rehearsals, lessons, and sessions—now gathered and offered out into the room.

There is something deeply communal at the heart of it: tunes passed hand to hand, melodies that hold memory, and the unmistakable energy of a live session unfolding in real time. Expect pace, variety, and those spontaneous moments where music becomes something more than performance—it becomes connection.
