The inaugural Scoil Gheimhridh Ghaoth Dobhair will be launched on Rónán Beo @3 on RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta, live from St. Patrick’s College, Drumcondra, in Dublin, on Tuesday 11 November at 3 pm.

Scoil Gheimhridh Ghaoth Dobhair will take place in northwest Donegal from 27 December to 1 January.  In its first year under its new organisers, Comharchumann Forbartha Ghaoth Dobhair, the School will continue the original vision of the Frankie Kennedy Winter School: to pass on, through sharing knowledge and nurturing talent, the joys of Irish traditional music, with special place given to the music and songs of the Donegal Gaeltacht.

Guests at this year’s school will include Liz Carroll and Séamie O’Dowd; Fiddlers Bid; Boys of the Lough; and Séamus Begley, Caitríona McKay & Chris Stout with Séamus Egan (Solas).  Further information www.scoilgheimhridh.com.

The school will be launched on Rónán Beo @3 with great live music from Tara Diamond, Mícheál Ó Raghallaigh, Danny Diamond, Gay McKeon, An Crann Óg and more, and members of the public are welcome to attend the broadcast.
