A special concert for teenagers (secondary school), featuring the exciting young traditional music group Alltacht.
This event is an opportunity for teens to meet and spend time with others who share their interest in traditional music, enjoy a live concert together and take part in music themselves. The concert will be followed by an open session, with everyone encouraged to bring their instrument and join in.
Alltacht brings together current and former students of the Irish World Academy: Sarah Fox on fiddle, Ciarán O’Connell on button accordion, Liam Broderick on guitar and vocals, and Jamie Troy on bodhrán and percussion. The group combines traditional and contemporary tunes and songs with energetic arrangements and a modern approach to accompaniment.
The event will be supervised throughout by the Trad For All festival organisers. It will be a safe and welcoming space, with strictly no alcohol, drugs or antisocial behaviour permitted.
