The 4th Annual Tulla Traditional Music Festival in September was a weekend packed with wonderful music, song, dance, concerts, céilithe and workshops. Our very own ‘Maids of Tulla’ will perform at the official opening in the Courthouse on Friday night. This will be followed by  ‘The Family that Plays together …’ where several talented family groups from the locality will play a tune, sing a song and dance in Minogues.
 
Saturday evenings concert in the Courthouse  showcased the renowned Sligo born flute player Seamus Tansey, along with other special guests. This was a great opportunity to see Seamus Tansey play live in Clare. The highlight of Sunday’s entertainment was  the music recital at Tulla Courthouse. Catherine McEvoy, Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh and  Mícheál Ó Raghallaigh will showcase their talent along with other special guests. The Courthouse is a beautiful setting for a music recital, seating is limited and pre-booking is recommended. Set dancing fans will definitely not be disappointed as the weekend starts with an opening céilí at Murrays with music by Larry McEvoy on Friday night. Saturday night the Tulla Céilí Band will take to the stage at St Joseph’s Secondary School hall at 10pm. The closing céilí on Sunday night was a magic of its own with music by Jim Corry, Mark Donnellan and friends. Robbie McMahon and Nora Butler  hosted a singing session at Teach Ól on Sunday. This has proven to be a very popular part of the festival for the past few years and all singers were welcome. Workshops will include Fiddle, Flute, Concertina, Traditional Singing, Comhra Gaeilge, Steps for Sets and Sean Nós Dancing.          Come to Tulla for a weekend to enjoy, savour and remember……....
