Every year it just gets better and better. Following on from the success of 2008, the Fleadh by the Feale committee now undertakes its Fifteenth Fleadh in the town of Abbeyfeale in Co. Limerick on the May Bank Holiday.
With fifteen years of experience behind them, it is a weekend that any organising committee would be proud of; it brings together traditional Irish musicians from all over Ireland, Europe and America no less who set Abbeyfeale alight over the bank Holiday weekend. Particular focus and interest is evident in the bones playing competition on the Monday night which draws a huge crowd to the platform in the square in Abbeyfeale and truly you would be amazed at the skill and dexterity of the competitors who have ranged from five years of age to the young age of seventy.

The Fleadh committee also caters for the artistic side and is involved with the local schools in running an art competition and they also provide opportunities for story tellers to come and share their pearls of wisdom!!
This weekend is for everybody; those blessed with talent and ability to play an instrument or sing and those who have an appreciation of traditional Irish music in its purest form. People of all ages come to share their talent with the folk of Abbeyfeale and in return the town guarantees you a warm West Limerick welcome.

Fleadh by the Feale Committee
The voluntary committee is made up of local people who work particularly hard to make this Fleadh possible and they recognise the importance of local involvement and are grateful for any support they receive from within the community, local businesses and sponsors.

The Fleadh by the Feale is a recognised event on the national festivals programme and is a time for celebration of our traditions in music, song, dance, art and storytelling. So if you have no plan for the May Bank Holiday weekend then you are welcome to come to Abbeyfeale, where a warm musical welcome awaits you.
