10 mbliana ag dul ó neart go neart, agus tig an tiomantas sin ó gach duine a bhfuil sé de phribhléid againn a bheith ag obair leo. Buíochas ollmhór le gach duine a bhí linn ag cur fáilte roimh an earrach, an damhsa agus do chuideachta. Ár lucht éisteachta, ceoltóirí, maoinitheoirí, foireann na féile, saorálaithe, na ceoltóirí a mbíonn deis againn a bheith ag obair leo, foireann an chaifé agus an bheáir, agus mórán mórán eile a dhéanann cinnte de go mbíonn rath air, go raibh maith agaibh, agus tchífidh muid sibh an bhliain seo chugainn!

Nach raibh tú ábalta a bheith ann? Amharc cad é eile atá ar na bacáin tríd an nasc thíos.

10 years going strength to strength, and that drive comes from everyone we have the privilege to work with. A massive thank you to all who joined us in welcoming the spring to Derry and the Northwest through music, dance, and your company. Our audiences, musicians, funders, festival team, volunteers, the musicians we get to work with, the café and bar staff, and many, many more who make sure it's a success - thank you, and see you next year!

Ceiliúradh cuí fá choinne deich mbliana de IMBOLC // An apt celebration for ten years of IMBOLC!

Ba doiligh an lá a bhualadh amach. Thoisigh muid lenár gceardlanna uirlise, le mórán rannpháirtithe ansin ag teacht isteach inár mbricfeasta mall ceoil thraidisiúnta in Crann Beatha go gairid ina dhiaidh. Thoisigh imeachtaí na hoíche leis an chosán seisiún trasna an bhealaigh mhóir in Little Acorns sular shleamhnaíodh chun na Cultúrlainne fá choinne ócáid speisialta a rinne ceiliúradh ar chion Eibhlín sna ealaíona san iarthuaisceart. Lean na foinn ar aghaidh in The Derby agus sa Park Bar, agus d’oscail buaiteoirí Chath na mBannaí, One Too Many, do Tara Breen agus Marty Barry inár gceolchoirm dheiridh, sular theilg Brian Finnegan agus The Hunger of the Skin Band sinn isteach i gcéilí deireanach Shíbín!

Buíochas ollmhór do gach duine a dhéanann an fhéile seo chomh speisialta sin. Tá muid ag súil le hathbhreithniú iomlán a chomhroinnt go luath, agus san idirlinn, luí fada sa leabaidh!

The day was a force to be reckoned with. Our instrument workshops started us off, with many participants then joining our trad brunch in Crann Beatha afterwards, and the Battle of the Bands soon following. The evening’s activities began with the session trail across the road in Little Acorns before snaking its way into the Cultúrlann for a special event that marked Eibhlín’s contributions to the arts in the northwest. The tunes continued in The Derby and the Park Bar, while the Battle of Bands winners, One Too Many opened for Tara Breen and Marty Barry for our closing concert, before Brian Finnegan and The Hunger of the Skin Band launched us into Sí-bín’s closing céilí!

A humongous thank you to everyone who makes this festival so special. We look forward to sharing a full review shortly, and in the meantime, a couple more lay-ins!

Ní bheadh tús ar bith eile níos fearr leis an deireadh seachtaine // No better start to the weekend!

Ó amhráin Shíomha chomh maith le Séamus agus Caoimhe Uí Fhlatharta (le Grúpa Ceoil Thraidisiúnta inmholta Ollscoil Uladh Mhig Aoidh ar dtús), go dtí an fuinneamh leictreach a thug Caoimhín agus Amano leo chuig ár club féile, beidh cuimhne ar an oíche go ceann i bhfad, agus tá súil againn go mbeidh sé amhlaidh daoibhse fosta! Thoisigh ár gcosán seisiún fosta, le neart foinn eile le bheith ag súil leo sa Chultúrlann agus fán bhaile inniu sula gcuirimid deireadh leis fá choinne bliain eile.

From the songs of Síomha as well as Séamus and Caoimhe Uí Fhlatharta (kicked off by the laudable UUM Trad Ensemble), to the electric energy that Caoimhín and Amano brought to our festival club, the night will be one we’ll look back on for a long time, and we hope it’ll be likewise for yourselves too! Our session trail also kicked off, with plenty more tunes to look forward to in the Cultúrlann and about town today before we wrap up for another year.
