The four day festival is set to take place from Thursday the 1st May to Sunday the 4th of May 2008 with concerts each night been held in Ceoláras Coleman, Gurteen, Co. Sligo.
The reigning Fiddler of Dooney, Tara Breen from Co.Clare was but one of a star studded group of Traditional Irish musicians who put on a truly outstanding concert in Ceoláras Coleman, Gurteen, on September 22nd last.
Accompanied by her father, Martin Breen, Tara thrilled the audience with her fine spirited playing, displaying all the skills of a master fiddle player with a lovely selection of tunes. Gracious hostess for the evening was Anne Marie McGowan, an excellent fiddle player, who recited lovely poetry - some about her beloved Monastraden where her family came from. Two young musicians with family roots in the wider Gurteen area, Sean and Gearoid Keane, gave a lovely entertaining performance with concertina and fiddle, and step dancing too.
