All welcome to Breton – Irish Folk Night

The Inniscarra Twinning Association is hosting a free E Leizh Senans on Sunday 14th November at 7:30. This will be a follow-up to their hugely successful event two years ago. Concert organiser Catherine Frost says that the centrepiece will be the brilliant Breton band E Leizh. “This group will electrify the audience” she says. “The venue, (St Senans Church of Ireland) is perfect. We will have the very best of Breton and Irish folk music. People still talk about our concert two years ago – we can’t wait for the show. As well as the Breton visitors, there will be some brilliant Irish traditional music.”. Inniscarra’s links with Europe have brought travel opportunities, music exchanges, and of course visits back and forth to Plougonven, a pretty town in Brittany. The partnership has been running for 30 years now and it shows no sign of slowing down. The Twinning group is planning a visit from Plougonven next April, with families all over Inniscarra waiting to welcome 30 visitors for a full week of events. The Communicating Europe project of the Department of Foreign Affairs is helping with the Folk Concert, as well as a Song and Art Contest. The Breton-Irish Concert is at St Senan’s Church of Ireland, Inniscarra on Sunday 14th November 7:30PM. Covid regulations will be implemented, so bring proof of immunity/vaccination.
