St. Patrick's Day Celebrations:
Following the success of our trip to Montigny-Le-Bretonneux in France in 2003, our French twins have invited a number of musicians and dancers from Wicklow Comhaltas back for this year's Saint Patrick's weekend to Wicklow’s twin-town, Montigny-le-Bretonneux, near Paris, to add an Irish flavour to their St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Bon voyage!!!

Every summer the historic
and picturesque valley of Glendalough resounds to the sound of traditional
Irish music when musicians from all over County Wicklow gather for our
annual
summer open-air music session.
After the success of our open-air
seisiún cheoil in Glendalough in summer of 2001, as part of our
50th anniversary celebrations of Comhaltas, it was decided to make this
an annual event. After the picnic (to build up our energy levels!) the
music begins at the ring fort beside the Upper Lake. Great craic is had
by all and thankfully so far the sun has always stayed shining!
The 2004 seisiún took
place on Sunday, July 25th, and was attended by over thirty musicians.
