One of Ireland’s oldest traditions was celebrated this week as part of Sean-Nós na Fearsaide.
The main aim of Sean-Nós na Fearsaide is to give people the opportunity to celebrate Ireland’s rich language, culture and traditional arts.
The weekend delivered a taste and insight into the native traditions of the country, between singing, dancing, Lúibíní, two-person interviews and storytelling at Cumann Cultúrtha Mhic Reachtain in North Belfast.
The Sean-Nós singing competitions are at the heart of the festival including competitions, Corn Cuimhneacháin Sheáin Mhic Aindreasa & Corn Cuimhneacháin Uí Chriagáin.
