Very sound performance from all Clontarf musicians. I strongly object to the Fleadh organisers refusing to allow our branch have a name. Apparently we are no longer allowed use the name Cluain Tarbh in any shape or form. I find this strategy most insulting and devisive, "divide and conquer" is probably the thinking behind it. Our individual musicians, duets, trios etc are all entered without a club name, but under their home addresses. Our ceili bands and grupai ceoil are listed as Ceili Band, or Groupa Ceoil DN (for Dublin North, I think). Although it doesn't stop our success, the "no name" policy of cce hq manages to mask and cover up our club. We are still 400 people, still united, still great musicians, still well meaning and decent people. Stop treating us like crap Labhras. We are not going away. Eileen
