Subject: RE: Leitrim Singers Circle
Next meeting will be at Fordes Inn, main street in Drumkeeran at 5pm
on Sunday May 5th- all singers welcome. To be followed by our 'sister'
session at 5pm on June 2 in the Market House, Blacklion, Co. Cavan (almost the last building on the left before the border bridge).

Early information re the John McKenna festival in Drumkeeran's Community Centre and four pubs- June 6-9 2013 inclusive. This is mainly homage to the great local flute player, who recorded in the USA many years ago(look out for the forthcoming double CD of his work). There are MANY excellent local musicians, in particular on flute and fiddle. There will also be a singing session in Forde's at 3pm on Saturday June 8, hosted by myself and Jackie Boyce, who is organising a revival of the 'Singing Match' tradition after many years, there'll also be visiting singers, one being the grand Scots ballad singer Janet Weatherston of Edinburgh.
More later....
