Thread Name: Leitrim Singers Circle
Subject: RE: Leitrim Singers Circle
Sorry Felipa, this slipped my mind completely- but the answer was no, our Scottish friends LINKUM DODDIE sang nowhere else....Frank Davitts is a unique place!
It was a very enjoyable evening with many local singers including four of the five McKeaney sisters - we've now listed our guests for the rest of 2016 & working on next year now.
All meetings at Davitt's pub, DRUMKEERAN, County Leitrim at 5pm Irish time on the FIRST Sunday of the month except for October, when it will be the SECOND Sunday- this is so as not to clash with two other local traditional festivals.

September 4

MAIREAD WALLS fine traditional style singer from Toome in
             Co. Antrim

October 9
   
GRACE TOLAND, excellent singer from Donegal with BRIAN DOYLE- another
                grand Donegal-based singer and fiddle player- we don't JUST sing- a few tunes and the odd story, monologue or joke are all part of our traditional mix!

November 6   

ANNA McMANUS, locally based member of the McKeaney sisters with a great repertoire of songs

December 4

ROISIN WHITE- highly respected singer and TG4 award winner from County Down, now based in Miltown Malbay

   before anyone comments, we hope to book some MALE singers in 2017!
